Design Awareness

This training explores a range of common but often misunderstood issues, including the lack of sufficient proof of concept during design, poor coordination of interfaces, and the frequent use of incompatible materials that compromise fire performance. This course also examines the difference between insulation and integrity requirements in passive systems, which are sometimes overlooked, and the specific risks linked to the overcladding of intumescent-coated structural steelwork. Each of these areas highlights how small design oversights can have significant implications for compliance, safety, and long-term performance.

The course also places emphasis on the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders throughout the design and construction process. It also discusses the Building Code, influence and shape responsibilities in this area.

By the end of the course, participants will have a clearer understanding of both the technical challenges and the regulatory drivers behind good PFP design, equipping them to make informed decisions that improve safety and compliance.
