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 perm technicians need a COSHH assessment

Permanent waving solutions contain ammonium thioglycolate - a chemical with a strong and distinctive odour that presents skin sensitisation and inhalation risks with regular occupational exposure. Thioglycolates are documented skin sensitisers that cause contact dermatitis in hairdressers who work with perming solutions frequently. The ammonium content of waving lotions presents respiratory irritation risks in poorly ventilated spaces. || Neutralising agents containing hydrogen peroxide also need to be assessed. The COSHH assessment for a perm technician needs to cover waving lotion and neutraliser formulations and address the ventilation requirements for perm solution application. || CompliantDocs generates your COSHH assessment from the specific perming products you use in your work.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Perm technician COSHH assessments often underestimate the thioglycolate sensitisation risk of waving solutions

Thioglycolate sensitisation is a documented occupational health concern in perming work and needs specific documentation. A proper COSHH assessment addresses the sensitisation risk and documents ventilation requirements. CompliantDocs generates this from your product list.
