Scaffolding collapses due to strong winds in Msida

Scaffolding at a construction site in Msida collapsed due to strong winds.

“Earlier today, officials from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), together with other authorities including the Occupational Health and Safety Authority (OHSA), were called to Triq il-Ħarrub, in Msida, where, due to strong winds, scaffolding at a construction site on the said street collapsed,” the BCA said.

“Both authorities immediately ordered the suspension of works, and assistance was requested from other authorities, including the Civil Protection Department, the Malta Police Force, and Enemalta, in order to remove any danger. The BCA reiterates its appeal that all temporary structures and machinery must be secured in such a way that they do not pose a risk.”

Both authorities also remind the public of the importance of the helpline 138.
