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 pilates instructors need a thorough risk assessment

Pilates reformer machines and other apparatus are complex pieces of spring-loaded equipment that need documented safety checks and maintenance procedures. The risk assessment must address how equipment is inspected before use, how faults are identified and managed, how equipment is cleaned between clients, and how clients are introduced to the equipment safely. || Client screening is particularly important in pilates because many clients come to the method specifically to manage injuries, chronic pain, or physical limitations. How are new clients screened before beginning a programme? How is the instruction adapted for clients with specific conditions? What is the procedure if a client is injured during a session? || These are specific to pilates instruction and need specific documentation.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Pilates risk assessments often address only the class environment and miss the equipment safety and client screening elements

The reformer safety and client screening elements are specific to pilates and absent from standard fitness or yoga risk assessment templates. CompliantDocs generates pilates-specific documentation that covers these elements from your answers about your teaching setup and equipment.
