About this course

Fire safety legislation in the UK has undergone significant updates following the Grenfell Tower tragedy. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 are now in place to improve fire risk management in high-rise and multi-occupied residential buildings and to reinforce the duties of the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

This course breaks down the regulations in a way that is easy to follow and practical to apply. You’ll learn who the responsible person is, what their legal duties include, and how these updated regulations impact day-to-day fire safety management in residential premises. The course carefully explains what each regulation requires in practice – from fire door checks and wayfinding signage, to sharing information with residents and emergency services.

Designed for professionals working in housing, facilities management, fire risk assessment, or health and safety roles, this course helps you understand both your legal obligations and how to meet them with confidence.

Why is this training important?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 were introduced to strengthen building safety in response to the findings of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. These regulations are not just a set of best practices – they are legally enforceable duties that must be understood and followed.

This training provides clear, practical guidance on what the regulations mean in real terms. It takes complex legal language and turns it into actionable knowledge, helping responsible persons avoid costly non-compliance, create safer living environments, and fulfil their duties with confidence.

Anyone who fails to follow the updated regulations risks not only legal penalties but also the safety of the people who live and work in the buildings they manage. This course helps professionals to understand what is expected of them and why it matters.

By completing this course, learners will come away with a stronger understanding of fire safety obligations, increased confidence in their compliance procedures, and a commitment to protecting lives through informed action.
