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 clothing boutique owners need a risk assessment

A risk assessment for a clothing boutique needs to address the shop floor environment - stock rail stability, display unit safety, floor surfaces, and customer access and egress. Fitting rooms create specific safety considerations around privacy, customer safety, and the management of any incidents in a semi-enclosed space. || Manual handling of clothing deliveries throughout the week creates musculoskeletal risks that need to be documented. Electrical equipment - tills, lighting, steaming equipment, and music systems - needs to be assessed. Fire safety considerations for a retail space with significant stock are also important. || These are specific to retail boutique operation and generic business templates will not address them adequately.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Boutique risk assessments often miss fitting room safety and manual handling of deliveries

The fitting room safety and stock delivery manual handling elements are specific to clothing retail and often absent from general business risk assessment templates. CompliantDocs generates documentation from your answers about your boutique setup.
