Why this site exists
Fire Risk Explained is the short editorial name used by whatarefireriskassessments.co.uk. We publish introductions to fire risk assessment topics for people managing premises.
How we approach content
Guides link to official sources and identify their geographical scope. Practical examples illustrate questions to discuss; they are not findings about your building. We do not claim government endorsement, assessor certification or professional review that has not taken place.
Corrections and updates
We aim to correct factual errors and review material when relevant guidance changes. Check the linked official source before making a decision. The date shown is the publication date, not a guarantee that law or guidance has stayed unchanged.
Advertising
Advertising spaces are labelled. An advert does not mean we recommend the advertiser or have checked its competence. Advertising is separate from editorial explanations.
