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 wedding photographers need a risk assessment

Wedding photography involves carrying and working with heavy photographic equipment in a variety of environments - often for long hours at events where the working conditions change throughout the day. The manual handling of camera bags, tripods, and lighting equipment throughout a wedding day creates musculoskeletal risks. Working in outdoor locations in variable weather conditions creates environmental risks. || Electrical equipment safety - cameras, flash units, and particularly external lighting rigs used at venue receptions - needs to be assessed and documented. Working at height to capture elevated shots is sometimes part of wedding photography and this also needs to be risk assessed. || Working alone at events for extended periods also creates lone working considerations, particularly at late-evening receptions.
Health and safety compliance documents
The real problem

Wedding photography risk assessments often overlook manual handling and electrical equipment risks

The heavy equipment and long working hours of wedding photography create manual handling and fatigue risks that are frequently absent from photographer risk assessments. Electrical equipment safety for flash and lighting rigs is also often overlooked. CompliantDocs generates documentation that covers these elements from your answers.
