Hackitt Review
The Hackitt Review is an independent report published in 2018, led by Dame Judith Hackitt, focusing on building safety in the United Kingdom. It was initiated in response to the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, which highlighted significant flaws in fire safety regulations and building practices. The review aimed to improve safety standards and accountability in the construction and management of high-rise buildings.
The report proposed a new regulatory framework, emphasizing a more robust approach to building safety. It recommended clearer roles and responsibilities for all parties involved, from designers to building owners, and called for a culture change within the construction industry to prioritize safety over cost.
