While I’m a building inspector these nights, I started our path toward this industry as a health department inspector.
I was sent to diners plus diners in our county to look for health code violations.
While various of the food service companies in this area honestly care about their products plus their customers who eat those products, I saw some of the most terrifying things in our life while I was in our years as a health department inspector. You’d know that our worst stories would involve rats or cockroaches, however it’s the sort of food that people will leave in a walk-in fridge for more than one weeks before attempting to serve to paying customers that grossed myself and others out the most. I became honestly jaded with our job 1 year when I made a immense fuss about a diner that nearly killed someone from a food poisoning incident. But that’s not what threw myself and others over the edge, it’s that it was 1 of dozens of cases happening after I made our initial inspection plus filed the appropriate paperwork with the county to shut them down. When they stayed open after the media frenzy, I concluded that there must be decisions being made behind closed doors for less than ethical reasons, so I joined the building inspection department as soon as an opening appeared. Now I inspect cracked concrete plus exposed rebar tie wire on old condominium buildings to determine the safety levels of the structure plus make recommendations afterward. I have seen some structures made with either galvanized or stainless steel rebar tie wire last much longer than they should given the salty conditions they are exposed to in this environment.
