Shows no consideration for the communities where they operate. And yes I have communicated with the VP mentioned in one of the other reviews and I was basically told too bad so sad.
Edit (July 2020): thank you for replying. It should be noted that construction start times have always been 7am, which I m fine with. What I find unacceptable is that companies like Tomlinson used the global pandemic to push through changes allowing 6am start time. This was never allowed in the past because it is detrimental to health and well-being, and this is well documented in reports by the WHO as well as Ontario s ministry of environment.
Furthermore, your crew takes zero precautions when it comes to COVID. Here s a photo on their rest break today. While I understand they are not mandated to wear masks at work and staying 2m apart is not feasible while working, their behaviour otherwise just seems careless given the current pandemic. I do worry because they also visit shops in our community.
Edit #2 (September 2020): no more extreme heat but still starting at 6am every morning, what gives?
Edit #3 (October 2020): Tomlinson continues working without following Provincial guidelines for construction site health and safety during COVID-19 (no distancing, no staggered shifts, no hand wash stations), or even basic safety precautions like a worker texting on a cell phone while holding a Slow/Stop sign directing traffic at peak 5pm downtown rush hour.
Edit #4 (also October 2020): for the record, Tomlinson edits their responses to this review on what is convenient as time passes. In July, they needed to start at 6am to avoid extreme heat for safety, and in October they need to start at 6am because ... it s not clear why. If it s unsafe to stagger shifts start and break times then there is no need to start at 6am. That is the reason why the government allows 6am start time. You can t have it both ways, or at least not in good faith. Not that Tomlinson would care. It s deeply worrying to what extent Tomlinson is unaware of health and safety regulations related to COVID and the construction sector.
