Schwelmer district house: renovation long overdue - workers in danger!

In the Schwelmer district house, the danger is bubbling! The renovation of the dilapidated building is pending, but the cities and the Ennepe-Ruhr district struggle for the financing. An alarming report warns that the house will be unusable after 2027 - the safety of employees is in acute danger. "In order to minimize the risks to fire protection, electrical and statics, immediate safety precautions have been taken," emphasizes the district administration. Among other things, there is a strict usage restriction of the electrical devices and fire protection measures are active everywhere.

The drinking water network has followed outdated standards, which is why employees are only allowed to use mineral water for the time being. The static defects of the parking decks, which are now affected with load restrictions and regular controls, are also particularly dramatic. And while floors loosen and threaten water damage, asbestos blooms in the building. "The attachment of nails or screws is strictly prohibited!" Reminds the district administration, because every mechanical intervention could result in pollutant measurements. The location is serious, the clock ticks - a rethink is a top duty!
