About this module

This module gives Principal Designers a clear and practical introduction to their fire safety responsibilities under the dutyholder regime. It explains how fire safety fits within legal duties, what reasonable oversight involves, and where the boundaries lie between coordination, design assurance, and specialist input.

The course outlines what compliance requires in practice, including how evidence should be assessed and how design intent is recorded through traceable decisions. It also covers how to evaluate the competence of fire safety professionals and challenge unclear work. Participants leave with practical steps to improve coordination, reduce risk, and support safer design.
