Culture

A cultural change in the fire safety industry is needed

Ever since fire safety regulations have been enforced, the industry has used these regulations as the standard by which all work should be carried out, however, regulations by their very nature are a minimum requirement and must be seen as such. Ventro places priority on safety first solutions, delivering solutions that go above and beyond compliance to offer people peace of mind that their buildings are not only compliant but most importantly safe.

“We need systemic change, not just minor reforms”

Driving Change In The Sector

At Ventro we are firm advocates of going above and beyond the current regulations. Fire safety should be paramount to any decision being made and not, as is often the case, what is the cheapest way to achieve the current regulations that are set. We are not alone in this mindset.

Dame Judith Hackitt, who was the chair of the independent review of building regulations and fire safety after the tragedy of Grenfell Tower, states, “There’s a real need for the industry to recognise it needs to change its culture, stop waiting to be told what to do – take responsibility and recognise you have an important role to play in ensuring that people have properties that are safe for them to live in and to use.”

Working with Ventro will ensure:

Quality Over Price
Above Compliance
Beyond Legislative Requirements

“As market leaders in the fire safety industry, it is imperative that we drive the sector forward by offering solutions that go above and beyond legislative requirements. Safety for residents and the public must be paramount.”
