Hackitt Review

The Hackitt Review was an independent government inquiry into building safety following the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. It examined how building regulations and safety procedures could be improved to prevent similar tragedies. The review recommended stricter oversight of construction practices, better communication among stakeholders, and clearer responsibilities for those involved in designing, building, and managing high-rise buildings. Its goal was to ensure that residents are safer and that buildings meet high safety standards throughout their lifecycle. The recommendations have led to reforms in building regulation and greater emphasis on safety culture within the construction industry.
