Grenfell Inquiry Reveals Safety Regulation Failures
News summary

The Grenfell Inquiry report has highlighted serious failures at government and regulatory levels that contributed to the tragedy, including a lack of oversight and recognition of building regulations meant to ensure public safety. Inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick criticized the dishonesty of manufacturers and systemic indifference towards fire safety, concluding that decades of negligence led to the disaster that claimed 72 lives. Additionally, a former fire safety engineer from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has alleged that post-Grenfell safety measures have worsened, revealing a culture of racism and workplace bullying within the council. Despite new legal powers intended to rectify fire safety risks following Grenfell, enforcement remains lacking, with thousands of buildings still unsafe due to ignored remediation orders. The report reiterates that no single administration is solely to blame, but rather a series of missed opportunities across successive governments. As the public continues to live in fear of potential fires, the urgent need for accountability and action remains critical.
