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 printing businesses need a thorough COSHH assessment

The HSE specifically identifies printing as a high-risk sector for occupational contact dermatitis. Printing inks, particularly oil-based litho inks, contain compounds that cause skin sensitisation and dermatitis with repeated contact. Press cleaning solvents present inhalation and skin contact risks in press rooms without adequate ventilation. UV-curable inks contain photoinitiators that are potent skin sensitisers. Plate chemicals and screen-making chemicals also present COSHH hazards. || The assessment needs to address every chemical used in the printing process - inks, solvents, plate chemicals, cleaning agents, and finishing products - at their actual hazard level. || CompliantDocs generates your COSHH assessment from the specific products you tell us you use in your printing work.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Printing COSHH assessments often focus only on inks and miss the full range of press chemicals

A complete printing COSHH assessment covers inks, press cleaning solvents, plate chemicals, UV compounds, and cleaning agents. Covering only the primary ink while omitting other regularly used chemicals leaves the assessment incomplete. CompliantDocs generates documentation from your complete chemical range.
