😱 Staff are in a state of shock at the DWP office in Treforest, Wales, as yet another massive glass pane has fallen from the building. With glass crashing down twice in just weeks, nerves are understandably frayed, and safety concerns hit the roof! 🏢
The DWP office, once hailed as the epitome of “state of the art” design, is now at the centre of a safety storm. Around 1,600 civil servants work here, and the fear is real. Can you imagine heading into work, wondering if you’ll need to dodge falling glass? 😳
Whistleblowers are raising their voices, revealing this isn’t an isolated issue. The buildings’ history is bogged down with problems—from dodgy windows and broken lifts to flooding and faulty alarms. Staff’s patience and trust are hanging by a thread (much like those windows!). Many are even using employment rights to justify working from home, prioritising their safety over coming into the office.
The Public and Commercial Services union is demanding action, calling for the site’s closure until a detailed safety audit is complete. They insist that the DWP must address safety concerns head-on to prevent any future incidents—or worse, an injury!
A source from the building details the myriad of issues—cracking windows, malfunctioning lifts, and even unexplained tremors. Yet, staff are still expected to believe the building is safe.
The DWP says they’ve closed the building temporarily and are planning a thorough investigation into these incidents. They assure everyone that recommendations from the survey will be followed to ensure safety.
It’s a waiting game to see if necessary measures will be applied or if more needs to be done to restore faith in this ‘state of the art’ building. Stay safe, everyone! 🌟
