About Safety Clarity
Free, plain-English guidance on UK health and safety compliance.
Our Mission
Health and safety compliance shouldn't be confusing. Too many business owners, landlords, and responsible persons struggle to understand their legal obligations because guidance is buried in jargon, scattered across government websites, or locked behind expensive consultancy fees.
Safety Clarity exists to change that. We provide clear, accurate, and accessible information about UK health and safety requirements — completely free.
Who We Are
Safety Clarity is run by practising health and safety consultants who work with UK businesses every day. We conduct fire risk assessments, health and safety audits, and compliance reviews across multiple sectors.
We're part of a network of trusted health and safety professionals across the country. When you need hands-on support, we can connect you with qualified consultants who can provide on-site assistance wherever you are in the UK.
We created this platform because we saw the same problems repeatedly: business owners confused by jargon, landlords unsure of their duties, and organisations paying for advice on things they could have understood themselves with clear guidance.
Every piece of content on Safety Clarity is written and reviewed by qualified health and safety professionals with real-world experience. We don't just explain what the regulations say — we explain what they mean in practice, because we deal with compliance issues first-hand.
What We Do
We help you understand:
- What regulations apply to you — based on your premises type, activities, and circumstances
- What you actually need to do — practical steps, not just legal theory
- When you need professional help — and when you can handle things yourself
- What "good enough" looks like — so you can comply without over-engineering
Our Approach
Plain English
We translate complex regulations into language anyone can understand. No unnecessary jargon, no legalistic hedging, no padding. Just clear answers to the questions you actually have.
Practical Focus
We focus on what matters in practice. While we reference the relevant legislation, our guidance centres on what you need to do day-to-day to stay safe and compliant.
Honest About Limitations
We're clear about what general guidance can and cannot do. Some situations genuinely need professional assessment — we'll tell you when that's the case, rather than pretending everything can be solved with a website.
No Hidden Agenda
We don't upsell consultancy services or pressure you into buying things you don't need. Our goal is to give you enough knowledge to make informed decisions about your own compliance needs.
Who We Help
Our guidance is designed for:
- Small and medium businesses trying to understand their obligations
- Landlords managing rental properties
- Care providers responsible for vulnerable people
- Charities and trustees overseeing premises
- Property managers looking after multiple sites
- Anyone designated as a "responsible person" under fire safety or other regulations
