Frankly, inspectors should have caught this before the payment for the work was approved.

TR Sir,

May I ask from a layman's standpoint, a question which may seem obvious?

(And let me say, I believe it is very simple in that KBR did not do its job)!

When a person/company is "contracted" by the U.S. military to do a job, such as install showers, does that person not have an obligation to perform the job, inspect the job, and clear the facility for use?

Am confued as to why this unfortunate SF Man's family was not immediately compensated by the contractor, for failure to provide a safe facility to use?
