Former employee sued Eastway Tank before 2022 explosion

Nevertheless, an ambulance took Yelgin to hospital with non-life-threatening facial injuries. However, according to a report citing the Ottawa Paramedic Service, it is unclear who called the paramedic because specific data about the caller is no longer available.

Yelgin also claimed that Eastway pressured him to return to work soon after the incident.

“His boss called him home every day and asked him to come back to work,” plaintiff’s allegations said. “The company even provided Mr. Yelgin with transportation to and from work. I applied.”

And when he returned to work, Yelgin complained of visual impairment. By December 2008, the company “improperly terminated his employment in a gross and coercive manner without legal justification.”
