Every self-employed person in the UK needs this

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every self-employed person whose work could pose a risk to themselves or others is legally required to have health and safety documentation in place.

This is not a large-business requirement. It applies to sole traders, one-person businesses, home studios, and mobile workers equally. The size of your business does not change the legal obligation.

Sole traders and one-person businesses Working alone does not exempt you. If you use chemicals or see clients, the obligations apply in full.
Mobile and home-based workers Working from home or visiting clients does not reduce your compliance requirements - it often adds to them.
Chair renters and freelancers Renting a chair or working as a freelancer through a third party does not transfer your compliance obligations to them.
New businesses and established ones Whether you started last month or have been trading for years, you need documentation in place.
Your legal obligation

What the law requires from professional balloon artists

Professional balloon artists work with latex balloons, foil balloons, balloon dip solutions, and related materials. Natural rubber latex is one of the most significant occupational allergens, and regular professional exposure to latex balloon particles - from inflating balloons and from the latex particles released when balloons burst - is a documented cause of occupational latex sensitisation. || A COSHH assessment covering the materials you work with, particularly latex, is a legal requirement. The risk assessment needs to address latex allergen management at events where clients with latex allergies may be present, how balloon bursting incidents are managed safely, and how the event environment is assessed for safety. || Working at events with children creates the same considerations as other children's entertainment work.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Balloon artists face a well-documented occupational latex allergen risk that is rarely formally assessed

Latex sensitisation from regular professional exposure to natural rubber latex is a documented occupational health condition. Many balloon artists work with latex balloons throughout every working day without any formal COSHH assessment of the risks. CompliantDocs generates documentation that addresses this from your answers.
