PETITION: Demand Accountability for Unsafe Working Conditions at Bothwell Accurate Co. Inc.Addressed to: George Vassallo, President — Bothwell Accurate Co. Inc. Jeff Aviss, Management — Bothwell Accurate Co. Inc. Board of Directors — Bothwell Accurate Co. Inc. 6675 Rexwood Rd, Mississauga, ON L4V 1V1⸻We, the undersigned current and former employees of Bothwell Accurate Co. Inc., submit this petition to demand an immediate, independent investigation into the company's systemic failures regarding workplace safety, training, and employee welfare.For nearly a century, Bothwell Accurate has built a reputation as an industry-leading building envelope contractor across Ontario and British Columbia. But behind that legacy, the people who do the actual work — roofers, sheet metal workers, cladding installers, labourers, estimators, and site supervisors — have been subjected to conditions that violate the basic standards of workplace safety and human dignity.⸻Our Grievances1. Unsafe Working ConditionsEmployees are routinely required to work at heights without adequate fall protection, proper scaffolding, or safety equipment that meets regulatory standards. Falls from heights remain the most cited serious workplace safety violation in the construction industry year after year, yet Bothwell Accurate continues to prioritize production timelines over worker safety. Workers have reported being pressured to proceed on unsafe surfaces, in hazardous weather, and without the equipment needed to do the job safely.2. Lack of Training and SupportNew hires and promoted employees are given little to no formal training before being thrown into high-risk environments. Supervisors are placed in charge of crews without the tools, direction, or support required to manage safety and operations effectively. When employees request training or raise concerns, they are dismissed rather than supported. This pattern of neglect creates conditions where accidents are not a matter of if but when.3. A Culture of RetaliationEmployees who speak up about safety issues, unfair treatment, or management failures face retaliation — including termination, demotion, and hostile treatment. The company's 2.4 out of 5 star employee rating on Glassdoor (with only 32% of employees willing to recommend Bothwell Accurate to a friend) reflects a workforce that feels unheard, undervalued, and afraid to speak out. The gap between the company's public "people-first" messaging and the lived experience of its workers is a breach of trust that cannot be ignored.4. Corporate Indifference at the Highest LevelUnder the leadership of George Vassallo, who publicly champions a "human-centered approach" and claims "it's always about the people," the reality on the ground tells a different story. Management, including Jeff Aviss, has overseen an environment where profits and project volume take priority over the safety and well-being of the workforce. When employees reach out for help — whether for training, safety concerns, or mental health support — they are met with silence, dismissal, or worse.Office staff at Bothwell Accurate work in a climate of fear — daily uncertainty about whether they will be fired creates a tension that makes it impossible to do their jobs effectively. Without proper systems, training, or support, they are set up to fail and then terminated for the very failures the company created. This is not management — it is manufactured attrition.⸻Our DemandsAn immediate, independent third-party safety audit of all Bothwell Accurate job sites in Ontario and British Columbia, with findings made public to employees.Full compliance with provincial occupational health and safety regulations, including proper fall protection, equipment maintenance, and site-specific safety planning.Mandatory, paid safety training for all field employees and supervisors before they are assigned to active job sites.A confidential, non-retaliatory whistleblower system where employees can report safety violations and management misconduct without fear of termination or discipline.Accountability for management personnel who have knowingly allowed unsafe conditions to persist.A public commitment from George Vassallo and the Board of Directors to restructure the company's safety culture, with measurable benchmarks and regular progress updates to employees.⸻Confidentiality NoticeYour identity is protected.
