I would like to request a walk-through with Martin and perhaps John King to see first hand, the conditions as they exists now. The IFC requires temp standpipes, an operational plan, and an exiting plan. Normal workplace standards would require adequate lighting. and ventilation. The Fire Dept's biggest concern is we not have a clear and consistent means of access or egress. Layton continues to frame and pour faster than they can draft updated plans. We have no means to fight a fire in the lower levels, despite the presence of flexible natural gas lines strung across screw jacks with bailing wire, active temp electrical services, storage rooms and cages with a variety of materials, and the offices in the basement. Rescue of construction workers will be a challenge due to what seems to be an ever changing exit path, most of which are not marked. Stairs that were there last week are gone now. New stairs are there but not labeled. Escape routes were to be marked in red lines on the floor. What lines exists are often covered with materials, fade to nothing, stop mid way, or are not there at all. Layton has an excuse for each element. This weekends incident just tends to reinforce my observation that they will do whatever they think they can get away with. When they get caught, they apologize and repeat the same mistake. Makes me think their "mistakes" are not accidents. I am open today and Tues. I will be out of the state for two weeks starting Thurs AM. I am trying to hold Wed afternoon open for last minute clean up. If there is some time you can spend to do a walk through thoday or Tues, Please let me know. Thanks, Mike >>> John King <JKing@safebuilt.com> 07/07/2008 10:18 AM >>> Martin, per discussions with Mike, we have only been performing inspections on the upper level of the four seasons project since the Red Tag was issued. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
