Safety, Not Double Standards

In April 2019, one of my lead plumbing foremen and I were at a job site in Albany, Oregon. The first project I'd worked on with him had been a difficult one. We had been struggling with submital approvals and the overall project schedule.

Earlier this spring, we were closing out a project when the owner requested the return of the three hard copy keys we were issued. I had two of the three keys but we were missing the third key.
