Is this anyone on here? Hopefully nobody is injured.

 

Edit: Looks like they're having works on the roof?

It is understood workers were carrying out felt repairs on the roof when the drama unfolded.

Potentially hot works? With people in the building? Hope they've got all the paper work in order. Sounds like there have been "no casualties". Which is good, but that's usually code for people have been injured, which isn't good.

HSE will be all over this.

Looking on the video at all the contractors, and based on the tender document, I think it's likely that the roof works are involved. Shame for the school who have just not long opened after lockdown.

Wasn't it roof works that also caused a fire for a fellow EduGeek school a few years ago, and ended up being rebuilt?

Bit of bad language happening now and then.

Not a problem for me but just a warning for others.
