GGF offers support after tower tragedy
20th June 2017

The GGF has set up a specialist group to offer free technical advice and information from its pool of fire safety experts in glass and glazing and has committed to support the investigation into the Grenfell Tower tragedy announced by Theresa May today.

In a statement, the organisation said: “Whilst our thoughts are with those victims of the tragedy at this time, it is important that the GGF does whatever it can to support the investigation that will take place to not only identify the immediate causes of the fire but also the manner in which it spread so rapidly.”

It added: “The GGF has a specific Fire Resistant Glazing Group (FRGG) that consists of manufacturers, distributors and installers of fire resistant glazing products. The FRGG’s focus is to work with the wider fire safety community in the UK to achieve the optimum fire protection in buildings. The Group seeks to meet its objectives by bringing together and making available the latest expert advice of those who work with fire resistant glazed systems on a day to day basis.
“After the recent events, the GGF has now also set up a specialist advisory group drawn from our pool of the world’s leading fire safety experts in glass and glazing who are willing to offer free technical advice and information if required.”
