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

Why hair extension technicians need a COSHH assessment

Hair extension application involves a range of adhesive and bonding products that fall under COSHH regulations. Hot bond extensions use keratin-based adhesives that when melted release vapours including formaldehyde compounds in some formulations. Tape adhesives contain acrylic-based compounds. Removal solutions - acetone and alcohol-based products - present inhalation and skin contact risks. || The COSHH assessment for a hair extension technician needs to cover every bonding and removal product in regular use, the specific hazardous compounds each contains, and the controls in place to manage exposure. Ventilation during hot bond work and when using acetone removers is a critical control. || CompliantDocs generates your COSHH assessment from the specific extension products you use in your business.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Hair extension COSHH assessments rarely address formaldehyde compounds in keratin bonds or acetone removal inhalation risks

Formaldehyde in some keratin bond adhesives and acetone vapour from removal solutions are specific inhalation risks in hair extension work that are frequently absent from COSHH documentation. CompliantDocs generates documentation that addresses these from your product list.
