Hello,

I guess I should explain a few things, In a nut shell my story goes like this; I went to work one day and ended up getting formic acid in my eye. It was from paint stripper.

The company I was working for performs heavy maintenance on Boeing airliners for several different airlines. It’s all done in one very large building. They were paint stripping a 737 in a cordoned off area of the hanger when the ventilation system shut off, spreading fumes and overspray through the whole building. It happened several times before and after with epoxy paints. (Isocyanates)

It took almost two months to clean it up. In the meantime over 250 people were sick with nausea, breathing problems, nose bleeds, blood shot eyes/irritation, headaches and more. Many of them will never be the same.

My self and a dozen others were very sick after this. I tried to work again after about a month off, there were more paint accidents, combined with the toxic crud I was working with and it left me with a permanent disability.

Since my accidents I have been diagnosed with a toxic brain injury, MCS, CFS, Solvent Encephalopathy, Isocyanate Sensitization, High Blood Pressure, Postural Deficiency Syndrome, (a sensory-motor postural-visual-vestibular impairment (say that five times real fast)) and just maybe Fibromyalgia. There’s a couple more, I just can’t remember them right now…….. Oh ya, cognitive issues.

Yahoo……

So what that means is now I’m a cheap date, I guess, I react to any product that contains a chemical whose name ends with: ene, one, ate, al and ol. That’s about a million things I have to watch out for, no wonder I’m so tired……

WCB came in and condemned the place, even so, they did the divide and conquer thing on all of us and all of us lost our claims all the way through the appeals. One lady did get three days of compensation; she’ll never work again though.

She is the only one who received any disability support from this, the rest of us are on welfare or trying to make do the best we can.

We’ve fought and lost with WCB, Labour Canada, CPP and have law suits going against the company’s disability insurance provider.

Since I left there two guys have been hauled out in ambulances after passing out, a number ran from the place throwing up. Two people have had “mysterious and unexplained” heart attacks and two others with stroke like symptoms, also a number with MS like issues.

We’ve tried to go to the press but there are laws preventing us from being able to tell our story. We have all written letters to whomever we could think of. Nobody will touch it, so far. All of us are still trying to do something with that.

That’s the readers digest version and that’s what brought me here.

Rob
