Written answers

The cell windows used by the Office of Public Works are a composite construction made up of three components, namely concrete, glass block and a protective covering layer. The performance of the cell windows depends on all three components working together and not just one single component of its makeup. The composite construction of the cell windows mentioned in the deputy’s PQ does not breach Safety & Health Regulations.
