Twenty-five businesses from central Christchurch's PricewaterhouseCoopers building were allowed a 90 minute-raid this afternoon.

The business representatives were divided into four groups and issued a safety briefing before entering Armagh St's 20-storey, yellow-stickered building.

The briefing included a warning about the smell and bacterial dangers.

Urban Search and Rescue workers and civil engineers accompanied the groups retrieving company equipment and belongings.
