APS Academy Full Day Course (Online)

This CPD Certified, full day course is designed to equip Principal Designers (PDs), PD Advisers, and Client Advisers with the essential understanding of Fire Safety regulations in England required to fulfil their duties under CDM 2015. While Principal Designers are not responsible for delivering fire safety, they must understand relevant regulations well enough to assess proposed fire safety design measures and raise concerns or comments where appropriate. This course will ensure CDM dutyholders are better informed and more confident in addressing fire safety design during the pre-construction phase.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to: 

• Describe the fundamental principles of fire and smoke behaviour and how they relate to construction safety. 
• Identify and interpret key fire safety legislation relevant to construction projects in England, including:
  -The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
  -CDM 2015
  -Building Regulations 2010
  -Higher-Risk Buildings Regulations (2023)
• Explain the role and responsibilities of Principal Designers, PD Advisers and Client Advisers in relation to fire safety during the design and pre-construction phases. 
• Explain requirements for liaison on Fire safety between the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor. 
• Recognise the importance of appropriate insurance and legal penalties relating to fire safety non-compliance. 
• Understand fire risk assessment requirements, methods, and the need for competent assessors.
