When it comes to commercial building construction, safety for your employers and the public are at the top of the priority list. Occasionally, safety concerns are rekindled when unforeseen accidents occur that puts the public at risk. According to a recent article from Bethesda Magazine, a window pane broke loose and shattered on the pavement Monday afternoon. Similar instances have occurred in the Bethesda business district.
County Director of Permitting Services Diane Schwartz Jones said she is aware of three instances of windowpanes falling from the building since 2017, and these are her thoughts on the situation:
“If it’s a one-time occurrence, that can happen for any number of reasons … but clearly there’s more that needs to be done at this point. I know it will be an inconvenience (to close the sidewalks), but I’d rather inconvenience people to keep them safe for a short time to really understand what’s going on here.”
