Lessons Unlearned: How the Dagenham Fire Highlights the Urgent Need for a Golden Thread of Information
In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2017, where 72 people lost their lives, the need for a comprehensive approach to building safety became starkly evident. The public inquiry highlighted a devastating reality: critical information about the building's structure, materials, and fire safety measures was either missing, outdated, or scattered across various documents and databases. This fragmentation of information—a far cry from the "Golden Thread" of safety data that should have been in place—played a crucial role in the disaster. Fast forward to 2023, and the fire at an apartment block in Dagenham served as a grim reminder that the lessons of Grenfell have not yet been fully learned.
