Leaking ceiling

    I'm working in a modern office with a suspended ceiling, for the past year or so water has been leaking from the suspended ceiling whenever it rains heavy. It's actually moving across the room, this is the office for a multinational company btw. Can anybody tell me if there is a danger from the water being in contact with the electrics for the LED lighting or air-con?

    Only if those electrical items are in close proximity.
    Bring it to your supervisor's attention, who will in turn have to bring it to his leasing manager's attention, who will have to contact the building owner for them to send someone out to look at it.

    It's been going on for a year now, they put bins and potted plants under the leaks, I'm not kidding. Then they send us emails about how well the company is doing, they installed a new air-con system that was probably 100k + and the tiles in the ceiling around it are rotten from the water, bizarre.

    To be honest, other than raising the the issue with the relevant dept in your office, there is nothing else for you to do. Unless it was posing a health and safety concern, it's not your problem.

    I'm below the tiles in question and it's edging closer and closer, a guy in front of me has put his plants beneath the stream. It's like something out of the 'IT crowd', I'll see what happens anyway.
