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

What self-employed nail technicians need to have in place

As a self-employed nail technician, a COSHH assessment covering your acrylic, gel, and nail products with specific attention to acrylate sensitisation risks, a risk assessment covering acrylic dust, UV/LED lamp exposure, and your working environment, a health and safety policy, and fire safety documentation are all required. Many nail technicians work from home studios - the compliance requirements apply equally regardless of whether you work from a home studio or a rented room. CompliantDocs produces everything in minutes.

The real problem

Self-employed nail technicians are at significant risk of occupational acrylate sensitisation but often lack formal COSHH documentation

Acrylate sensitisation from gel and acrylic nail products is a growing occupational health concern in the nail industry. Once sensitised, even brief skin contact with acrylate products can trigger a severe reaction. Formal COSHH documentation with appropriate skin protection requirements is essential. CompliantDocs produces comprehensive documentation in minutes.
