The CIH Podcast episode 32 - Fire safety after Grenfell: Embedding safety into housing management
In this episode of the CIH podcast, we reflect on the Government’s formal response to the Grenfell Inquiry and explore how fire safety has too often been treated as a specialist technical function—when in fact, it is integral to everyday housing management.
Host Dr Eve Blezard is joined by Jan Taranczuk (managing director of Jan Taranczuk Associates), Chloe Gallagher (building safety manager at Magna Housing), and Gemma Darville (head of safety, risk and assurance at Gentoo and member of the Building Safety Regulator’s advisory committee). Together, they discuss how landlords can embed a culture of safety across their organisations, what good practice looks like in partnership with residents and stakeholders, and why fire safety is now central to consumer regulation.
