HOUSING campaigners have urged high rise residents to demand fire risk assessments following the Grenfell blaze.
The North West Community Alliance have launched their safety campaign urging tenants to speak out about their concerns and push landlords to do more. 
Billy McAllister, chairman of the group and former Glasgow City Council SNP councillor, said it was not enough to take the word of the Government or landlords that buildings were safe.
He said: "It’s very dangerous and people should be made aware and encouraged to push for risk assessments.
“If its turns out like the Government says and there is no problem with safety then albeit but a lot of people are not trusting what the officials say anymore.
“Westminster said Grenfell was safe and it wasn’t. 
“Our group would like to know that every single flat in Glasgow is actually safe, above the specifications and the material used in cladding or inside buildings is not highly flammable.” 
The pressure group launched the campaign at Cedar Court in Maryhill, which is currently undergoing refurbishment, but has since leafletted dozens of properties urging residents to demand safety assessments.
They plan to deliver the leaflets to every high rise resident across the city. 
Billy said: “We started at Cedar Court as that is just being cladded. The day we launched I had about 15 calls in an hour from people asking how can they ask for help.
“I told them to demand a fire test and risk assessment.
“We can’t just take it for granted that these things are safe any more after what happened.” 
Since the Grenfell blaze in London on June 14, a review has been carried out of school buildings, hospitals and high rises across England and Scotland.
In Glasgow, the Evening Times revealed only two of more than 140 high rises had sprinkler systems fitted, not including those in the bin areas.
A small amount of insulation material similar to that found on the Grenfell tower was also used on Glasgow’s £842m Queen Elizabeth University hospital.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde previously said the hospital has fire door systems and - unlike Grenfell tower - a sprinkler system.
The health board also said it checked with contractor Multiplex, which worked on the new hospital, and have been assured the Kingspan insulation boards have been properly installed.
Around 44 schools in Scotland are also believed to contain Grenfell-style cladding.
