The Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 report highlighted catastrophic failings in the tower’s fire safety practices.

Inspection and maintenance regimes were inconsistently followed—not just for the building’s cladding but for the very fire doors that were designed to protect lives. Self-closing devices either failed or were missing entirely, meaning the doors contributed to the tower’s destruction and the deaths of its residents. The construction industry needs to wake up.Enforcing post-Grenfell fire safety standards has been a challenge for the industry.

To implement systemic change, company leaders must prioritise training and development by creating systemic plans to ensure staff are up-to-date and are working according to best practices.But it is not enough for workers to understand best practices within their trade: they must understand how to prevent fires throughout the building lifecycle. At FDM, we’re bridging the gap between construction stages by providing holistic training for those in the industry.
