Your legal obligation
What self-employed gardeners need to have in place
As a self-employed gardener or garden maintenance worker, a COSHH assessment covering the pesticides and chemicals you use, a risk assessment covering power tool safety, hand-arm vibration, manual handling, and outdoor working, a health and safety policy, and fire safety documentation are all required. Commercial clients, councils, and property management companies increasingly ask garden maintenance contractors for evidence of compliance documentation and pesticide competence certification. Having everything in place from the start puts you in a stronger commercial position. CompliantDocs produces everything in minutes.
The real problem
Self-employed gardeners often focus on their horticultural skills and client gardens and overlook compliance documentation
Building a garden maintenance business requires horticultural knowledge and relationship building. Compliance documentation often lags behind. The pesticide and HAVS risks make the compliance gap more significant than for many other sole trader occupations. CompliantDocs produces everything in minutes.
