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 keratin treatment technicians need a specific risk assessment

The risk assessment for a keratin treatment business needs to address ventilation management during the heat activation step as a primary safety control. How is the salon ventilated during keratin treatments? What extraction or air movement is in place? What are the limits on how many keratin treatments are performed in a shift without adequate air refresh? || The hot flat iron used during heat activation creates burn risks that need documented protocols. Client information requirements - informing clients about formaldehyde content before treatment - are also a risk management element. || These are specific to keratin treatment work and absent from general hairdressing risk assessment templates.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Keratin treatment risk assessments rarely address ventilation management during heat activation as a primary safety control

Adequate ventilation during the heat activation step is the most critical safety control for keratin treatments and the most frequently absent from risk assessment documentation. CompliantDocs generates documentation that addresses this specifically from your answers.
