Nicola John , Managing Director at FDM by UAP Ltd , 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 company ’ s responsible person is empowered to carry out their duties confidently and competently .
