UK Fire Safety in Residential Property: Intermediate

Regulatory compliance - Property & Real Estate
What everyone running fire safety in a block of flats needs to do

This course is for the people who actually run fire safety in a UK block of flats - building managers, managing agents, landlords, and freeholders - and takes you from knowing the duties to doing the job. It builds on the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.

You'll learn how to commission and act on a fire risk assessment, turn the findings into a tracked action plan, run a fire door inspection regime, manage external wall fire risk, give residents the information the law requires, and build and run an evacuation plan. By the end, you'll be able to keep the high-rise duties on schedule, work confidently with the fire service and contractors, and maintain the systems and records that keep residents safe and your building compliant.
