Last night at Bank, call point operation triggered an evacuation ... and the P.A. failed. No Inspector Sands, no P.A. from the control room, nothing.
With superhuman effort, the staff evacuated the complex in twenty minutes. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Had it been a fire, people would have died.
Bank had its staffing levels slashed under last year's new rosters. Sunday night proves beyond doubt that insufficient staff numbers will potentially cause disasters.
