Five hurt in failed concrete floor pour

Five construction workers are reported to have been hurt when a temporary floor gave way during a concrete pour.

The Manchester Evening News said the workers fell from the third to the second floor during the incident at the Manchester Royal Infirmary extension project on Wednesday.

A site source told the MEN: “During the pour of the concrete, the temporary floor fell through.

“Five people fell through and multiple people were injured.

“There was a crash and everyone ran out. They thought the whole ceiling was going to come through.”

A spokesperson for the North West Ambulance Service said: “An incident was attended by two ambulances, a response vehicle, HART and supported by an operational commander.
