The recent
apartment fire in Bankstown, west of Sydney, has been a topical issue since the tragedy occurred on 6 September 2012.
The event has highlighted a number of issues which has sparked further investigation into the building construction industry, including:
- building construction deficiencies
- general lack of understanding in the building industry
- role of the builders and certifiers
- construction work quality
- risk assessments
- fire safety requirements
According to a
report, it is unclear who certified the building for compliance with fire safety requirements, whilst another
report which claimed the fire reached 1,000ºC, melted the aluminium window frames and metal railings, as well as burnt down the fire door.
