Guard finds worker misbehaving with vacuum cleaner
Healthcare Security Weekly, March 10, 2008
A security guard at a London hospital reported finding a construction worker, who was supposed to be refurbishing offices at the facility, engaged in inappropriate behavior with a vacuum cleaner.
The construction worker was fired, reported United Press International. The security guard at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital said he saw the worker, who was supposed to be locking up at the building site, naked in the staff cafeteria with a Henry Hoover vacuum cleaner, The Daily Telegraph reported March 3.
The guard informed the construction worker's employer and the construction company fired the man. When questioned by his bosses, the worker said he was vacuuming his underwear, which he claimed was "a common practice" in his native Poland. "That behavior is not acceptable, though it gave a few people a laugh," the company told The Sun newspaper.
