Safety probed at hospital

WORK is continuing in the new foyer of the University College London Hospital in Euston as trade union officials investigate whether scaffolding has posed any health and safety dangers to staff and patients.
The New Journal reported last week that health chiefs brought in builders to fix problems with the £422million, four-year-old hospital’s entrance hall.
A UCLH spokesman insisted the work was merely cosmetic, despite a staff whistleblower claiming that glass panels in the five-storey atrium were unsafe.
Now Unison representatives are investigating whether the hospital has breached health and safety rules on two counts: whether the glass has been unsafe since the hospital opened, and whether scaffolding put up to fix the problem complies with safety guidelines.
