Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, every employer in the UK has a legal duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of their employees and anyone affected by their work activities. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 make this duty specific — requiring employers to carry out suitable and sufficient risk assessments, implement preventive and protective measures, appoint competent persons, and provide adequate information, instruction, and training to employees.
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) add further requirements for any workplace using or producing hazardous substances — including chemicals, dusts, fumes, vapours, and biological agents. The CDM Regulations 2015 require Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) documentation for construction work, placing duties on clients, designers, and contractors.
Failure to maintain adequate health and safety documentation can result in HSE enforcement action, improvement and prohibition notices, prosecution with unlimited fines, and in the most serious cases, imprisonment. Proper documentation is not just a legal requirement — it demonstrates your commitment to workplace safety, protects your employees, and provides an essential audit trail for inspectors, clients, and insurance providers.
Our free health and safety document generators go beyond simple template downloads. Each generator is a fully interactive online tool that helps you build compliant documents step by step:
Creating health and safety documents with our platform is straightforward. Select a template from our library of over 500 professionally drafted documents, customise the content for your specific workplace, add your company details and logo, and export as a branded PDF. Our risk assessment generator uses an automatic risk matrix that calculates severity, likelihood, and residual risk scores with colour-coded ratings — red, amber, green — for instant clarity on every hazard.
For COSHH assessments, our generator pre-populates substance data from Safety Data Sheets (SDS), including GHS hazard classifications, H-statements, P-statements, workplace exposure limits, and recommended PPE. This eliminates hours of manual research and ensures your assessments contain accurate, up-to-date chemical safety information.
Every document is saved to your free online dashboard where you can edit, update, duplicate, set review dates, and manage your entire compliance library from any device. Set a share link and send documents to employees, contractors, or visitors for electronic signatures — collect up to 100 e-signatures per document and generate detailed sign-off reports from your dashboard. Risk assessments and COSHH assessments also include reviewer and approver e-signatures within the document. All saved documents and signatures are secured with AES-256-GCM encryption.
Our templates are used by professionals across construction, healthcare, manufacturing, transport and logistics, facilities management, hospitality, education, retail, and office environments. Whether you need a construction site risk assessment for CDM compliance, a COSHH assessment for cleaning products, a fire risk assessment for commercial premises, a toolbox talk on working at height, or a company health and safety policy for your business — our generators and templates have you covered.

A risk assessment is a legal requirement under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. It involves identifying workplace hazards, evaluating the likelihood and severity of harm, and determining control measures. Every UK employer must conduct risk assessments — our free risk assessment generator makes this simple with over 100 pre-built templates.
A COSHH assessment evaluates the risks from hazardous substances in the workplace — chemicals, dusts, fumes, and biological agents. Required under the COSHH Regulations 2002, it identifies substances used, assesses exposure risks, and determines control measures. Our COSHH generator includes over 100 substance templates with pre-populated Safety Data Sheet information.
RAMS stands for Risk Assessment and Method Statement. It combines a risk assessment (identifying hazards and control measures) with a method statement (step-by-step safe working procedures). RAMS are commonly required on construction sites under the CDM Regulations 2015. Create both documents using our risk assessment and method statement generators.
Yes. Our templates cover construction, healthcare, manufacturing, transport, facilities management, hospitality, education, retail, and office environments. Each template is fully customisable — edit the content, add your own hazards and control measures, and tailor the document to your specific workplace and activities.
Set a share link on any saved document and send it to employees, contractors, or visitors. Recipients can read the document and add their electronic signature directly on screen from any device. Collect up to 100 e-signatures per document and generate a detailed sign-off report from your dashboard — confirming who has read and acknowledged the assessment. All signatures are secured with AES-256-GCM encryption. Risk assessments and COSHH assessments also support reviewer and approver e-signatures within the document itself.
A toolbox talk is a short, focused safety briefing delivered to workers before or during a work shift. They typically cover a single topic — such as manual handling, fire safety, PPE use, or working at height — and last 5 to 15 minutes. Our toolbox talk templates provide professionally written content you can deliver immediately or customise for your workplace.
A method statement is a document describing how a work activity will be carried out safely, step by step. It details the sequence of operations, the hazards involved, the control measures in place, the equipment required, and the competencies needed. Method statements are routinely required on construction sites and for high-risk activities. Our method statement generator creates detailed safe systems of work.
You must still carry out risk assessments regardless of how many people you employ — the legal duty applies to all employers and the self-employed. However, if you have fewer than 5 employees, you are not legally required to write down your findings. That said, documenting your risk assessments is strongly recommended by the HSE as evidence of compliance, and many clients and insurers will expect it.
Risk assessments should be reviewed whenever there is a significant change — new equipment, new substances, changes to work processes, or after an incident or near miss. As a minimum, the HSE recommends reviewing risk assessments at least annually. Our dashboard lets you set review dates and track when documents are due for update.
A health and safety policy is a written document setting out your organisation's commitment to health and safety, the responsibilities of individuals, and the arrangements in place to manage risks. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers with 5 or more employees must have a written policy. Our policy templates follow ISO standards and cover H&S, environmental, quality, HR, and GDPR requirements.
Yes. Set a share link on any saved document and send it to your team, contractors, or clients. Recipients can view the document on any device and add their electronic signature. All shared documents and signatures are protected with AES-256-GCM encryption. Collect up to 100 e-signatures per document and generate sign-off reports from your dashboard — providing a clear audit trail for compliance checks and HSE inspections.
