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 nail technicians need a thorough COSHH assessment

Nail technicians work with some of the most chemically significant substances of any beauty professional. Acrylic monomer (methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate) is a known respiratory sensitiser and skin sensitiser that causes occupational asthma and contact dermatitis in nail technicians. Gel nail products contain (meth)acrylates that are potent skin sensitisers. UV/LED nail lamps require the risk assessment to address UV exposure to the skin during gel curing. Nail primers often contain methacrylic acid which is corrosive. || The COSHH assessment for a nail technician needs to address every product in the nail kit - acrylics, gels, primers, top coats, adhesives, and nail preparation products - and the specific inhalation and skin contact risks of each. Ventilation during acrylic work is a critical control. || CompliantDocs generates your COSHH assessment from the specific products you use in your nail business.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Nail technician COSHH assessments rarely address acrylate sensitisation and UV exposure adequately

The acrylate sensitisation risk from gel and acrylic products is one of the most significant occupational health concerns in the nail industry. A proper COSHH assessment addresses this specifically with documented controls around skin contact prevention and ventilation. CompliantDocs generates documentation reflecting the actual hazard level of professional nail products.
