UAP Ltd launches GQA-accredited Fire Door Maintenance course to address knowledge gaps in fire safety legislation
Fire Door Maintenance, part of UAP Ltd, a leading provider of fire door safety courses, is proud to announce the launch of its new ‘Responsible Persons’ course, accredited by GQA.
The course is designed to support the responsible person in both residential and commercial buildings, addressing the widespread issue of poor understanding of fire safety legislation and legal duties.
With significant gaps in knowledge in the industry as highlighted by several reports over the past few years, this course has been developed to help responsible person grasp the complexities of the regulations they are required to follow and their duties under fire safety laws. The course covers key legislation, including the Fire Safety Order 2005, Fire Safety Act 2021, and Fire Safety Regulations 2022, ensuring that participants fully understand their legal obligations in maintaining fire safety compliance.
The course can be attended in-person at FDM - the UK’s first fire door training academy in Bury, Greater Manchester. It provides the necessary knowledge to ensure compliance with fire safety legislation and the proper management of fire safety risks.
It is fully accredited by GQA, an awarding body known for its high standards in the industry. Upon successful completion, participants will earn an accredited course certificate, demonstrating their competence in fire safety management and legal compliance.
Nicola John, Managing Director at FDM, said: “The course is a direct response to the recurring feedback that the responsible person in an organisation often struggles to interpret and act on fire safety legislation. By delivering clear and comprehensive training, FDM aims to close the loop on information sharing within the fire safety industry, ensuring that a companies responsible person is empowered to carry out their duties confidently and competently.
