A guy nearly died in an explosion, all the evidence points to one person, not me (the desired scapegoat) but my ex boss.
My ex boss faced a charge, but it disappeared before he went to his hearing.
They spent 220 k on chasing me and 30k chasing my ex boss.
As far as I know my ex boss was gifted his full certifying gas license after one oral exam, before this he was a gas salesman with an exception. The Board later appointed the same guy who gifted my old boss his license as the investigator, at a hearing chaired by the investigators mate. This very biased chair closed the hearing just as I was going to clear my name 100%.....
The Board knew my old boss didn't register a certificate for a pizza oven fitted a year after the fryers(a year after I left his employ), this pizza oven installed at the site of the explosion, they knew this 9 days after the explosion. Even though the Board claim to have never received this certificate (which all available carbon copies show the test for leaks section empty)....it appears on their electronic web site, how on earth can you say it wasn't registered if it appears on the website, same number, same appliance same everything, it is a lie.....Question how would the Board look if it accepted a cert missing a test for leaks that then exploded? Installed by a guy who hadn't done an apprenticeship, but given full qualification by the Board to sign off work?
In the photos supplied by the Board they included a picture of a hose being stressed....its was for the pizza oven mentioned above......but they withheld over 100 photos.....some of which proved I was innocent.
The charge that started all this I was cleared of, but the still went after me in the papers for one bullshit charge (out of 44) so I was found 95% innocent of my charges...my old boss 100% guilty of his charges (except the exploding chipshop, because that disappeared)
Of the charges he did face and was found guilty of all his other charges, all of them....... 75% of these involved gas supplies to commercial cooking equipment and the incorrect/dangerous installation of the hose and a lack of restraint.......exactly what caused the explosion at the chipshop, that nearly killed a guy, while he was in intensive care, they were framing me.....
All the new guys at the Board think this is water under the bridge, I strongly disagree.......what do you think?
