CIOB reacts to Grenfell Tower inquiry report

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has today reacted to the Grenfell Tower inquiry report.

Caroline Gumble, chief executive officer at CIOB, said: “We very much welcome the publication of the final report into the Grenfell Tower fire and will be reading it in detail to understand the implications for the construction sector in the UK.

"Improving the safety of buildings must be a priority. Although some progress has been made with the introduction of the Building Safety Act and changes to the Fire Safety Act, there is still much to do. 

"We are committed to working with others across the industry to follow up on the recommendations made in the report. Every step possible must be taken to ensure such a tragedy, which has impacted the lives of so many people, can never happen again.”
