A public safety advisory has been issued by B.C.’s safety organization against a contractor known to have worked in the Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Vancouver Island.
The advisory was issued against Michael James Fader and Fader Industries, according to a press release from Technical Safety B.C., an independent organization that oversees the installation and operation of technical systems and equipment in the province.
“Homeowners, businesses, building and strata managers in B.C. — particularly in the Lower Mainland, on Vancouver Island, and in the Okanagan — should consult their records to see if they have had gas or electrical work performed by Mr. Fader or Fader Industries and contact Technical Safety B.C. if they have any safety concerns. It is also possible that Mr. Fader has performed work in other areas in B.C.,” according to the organization.
Fader has conducted installations of gas and electrical equipment without a permit.
“Significant hazards have resulted from some of Mr. Fader’s work and those risks may have posed serious and sometimes severe safety risks to the public,” according to Technical Safety B.C.
Technical Safety B.C. is urging the public to come forward with any information regarding work conducted by Fader or Fader Industries by reporting the hazard on its website or calling 1-866-566-7233.
The organization is independent and self-funded. It oversees the safe installation and operation of technical systems and equipment across the province. It also issues permits, licences and certificates.
