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 show groomers need a risk assessment

Show dog grooming involves working intensively with specific breeds that can have particular handling requirements and temperament characteristics. Large breeds, working dogs, and breeds known for protective instincts all present animal handling risks that need to be documented specifically. The risk assessment for a show groomer needs to address the breeds you regularly work with and the specific handling considerations each presents. || The use of chalk powders and fine particle products also introduces a risk that needs specific documentation. Working with dusty preparations in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation is a documented respiratory risk that should be assessed. || CompliantDocs generates your risk assessment from your answers about the breeds you work with and the products you use.

The real problem

Show dog grooming risk assessments need to address breed-specific handling and specialist product risks

Generic grooming risk assessments do not address the specific handling requirements of show breeds or the risks of working with fine particle chalk products. Show groomers need documentation that reflects how they actually work. CompliantDocs generates this from your answers.
