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 vehicle repair technicians need a thorough risk assessment

Vehicle lifting is the most dangerous activity in most vehicle repair work. Working under a vehicle that is inadequately supported is potentially fatal. The risk assessment must address how vehicles are elevated and supported for underside work, what lifting equipment is used and how it is maintained, how vehicle stability is checked before going underneath, and what the procedure is in the event of unexpected vehicle movement. || Battery charging creates hydrogen gas and acid mist risks that need to be assessed. Power tool use - air tools, angle grinders, and impact wrenches - creates noise exposure that may fall under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. The workshop environment including floor surfaces, lighting, and emergency access also needs to be formally assessed. || These are specific to vehicle repair and absent from generic trade templates.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Vehicle repair risk assessments often do not adequately address vehicle lifting safety or battery charging risks

The vehicle lifting safety element is the most critical specific risk of vehicle repair work and the most frequently inadequately addressed in documentation. The battery charging fire and hydrogen risk is also specific to automotive work and often absent. CompliantDocs generates documentation that addresses these from your answers.
