Could have been seriously injured this morning!

So,

 

Let me set the scene.

 

7.40am, just got off the bus and was walking to work past the Cutlers Hall (opposite to the Catherdral). Now there is some work going on with the building and the building next door, so there is some pretty substantial scaffolding.

 

Then out of no where a large amount of rubble landed about a foot in front of me! Now I'm talking broken bricks, roof tiling and it hit with considerable force if i was directly under that then, probably would not be speaking to you now.

 

Be Careful around there guys.

Oh boo hoo. Why don't you telephone the Police?

 

Be careful out there guys, there's falling masonry everywhere.

My thoughts are with somebody's family.

You could probably get a nice tidy sum of money for that. And the workers would have to do 6 months of H&S training.

 

Seems like those CSCS cards are not worth the plastic they are made from ;-)

I guess you'd be less flippant if it had landed on your head.

I hope you reported it ,it may be shutting the stable after the horse has bolted but it may alert the people in charge and enable them to take precautions that it doesnt happen again

What has this to do with anything? Is this something else you want us to be careful of?

What a strange thing to write.

[Bludragonfly 10]

I suggest that you report this as a 'near miss' or dangerous occurrence incident. You can report this to the Health and Safety Executive

 

HSE Telephone - All incidents can be reported online but a telephone service is also provided for reporting fatal and specified injuries only - call the Incident Contact Centre on 0845 300 9923 (opening hours Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 5 pm).

 

Adding an extra note

 

The Council might be the legal enforcement agency for this kind of work - you can contact the Health and Safety team in the Health Protection service on (0114) 273 5774 / 273 4415
