Since the Senate Democratic Policy Committee has published this CAR on their site, I am going to publish it here as well.

I realize this is an old posting, but I just came across it and thought you would be interested in knowing that the KBR solution at the base I’m at is to generate reams of reports and paperwork, but from what I have been told by people in QA/QC, no actual work has been done to resolve this issue. The grapevine has it that senior management at my base instructed the head electrician to rubber stamp his inspections in order to complete the 100% electrical inspection quickly, but not actually do the inspections as required. I don’t know if it has changed since then, but I do know that there was never an inspection in my living unit.
And the previous posting by spark1 is compltely true, it’s not the KBR way to do things right, it’s do it however quickly you can patch it together to make it look like you did what you were supposed to.

it was at RCP and KBR had us electricians runing around trying to fix things that have been bad for years to no fault of me or my brother electricians.KBR says to just get it done no matter what even when you tell them that its not code. If it was up to me I say rip it all out and do it right!!!

Ms Sparky’s Response:
I would like to chat with you about that. Email me.

This happened over a month ago. Why is this the first we are hearing about it? I agree. It appears they are trying to keep it quiet.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
Good question!

Wow,

Didn’t know it was the RPC where this death happened.

I used those showers for 6 months in 2006. Makes you wonder “What if?”

My good friend is still there, have to add ANOTHER prayer to my lists.

Talked to lawyer for 2 hours today. Dept. of labor rep denied my VERY FIRST INFORMAL HEARING.

My lawyer told me to write to all of my congressmen, senators, and anyone else I could get to listen.

I plan on writing the man above: Senator Waxman and describe how AIG legally has 14 days to respond to the initial filing of a DBA claim but it is going on FIVE MONTHS now with several doctors telling me I need surgery and still NOTHING!

crazedchef
going a little nuts waiting on these bastards

Ms Sparky’s Response:
This is where just one electrocution occurred. If you need a good DBA attorney there is a link in my blogroll for The Defense Base Act Blog. That is Aaron Walter. Several people I have talked to are using him and they really like him.

Brutal, to the point, VERY well written.

Good job.
