Back in 2013, the Singh’s company Seattle Environmental Consulting, was fined $15,000 over asbestos-handling violations.
The latest incidents are alleged to have happened since then.
“I’ve seen first hand, death associated to asbestos exposure, and I can’t understand why any employer in the province of British Columbia would continue to expose workers and the public hundreds of times after they’ve been told to cease and desist,” said Lee Loftus, BC Insulators Union business manager.
