Health & Safety Templates Compliance Pack

A practical starter pack of essential health and safety documents for small, low-risk businesses that need a clear framework to help organise basic compliance arrangements.

This pack is designed for employers who want a more structured starting point than a collection of generic free downloads. It brings together key templates and forms that can help businesses record arrangements, identify everyday hazards, and support basic workplace health and safety management.

It is best suited to low-risk organisations such as offices, small commercial premises, shops, salons, studios, light service businesses and other similar workplaces where activities are routine and risks are generally manageable. It may also be useful for small employers who are beginning to formalise their health and safety arrangements and want a simple document set to build from.

What’s included

  • Health & Safety Policy Template
  • General Workplace Risk Assessment Template
  • Office Risk Assessment Example
  • Near Miss & Incident Report Form
  • Workplace Inspection Checklist
  • Training Matrix Template

Who this pack is for

This pack is aimed at small, low-risk organisations that need a practical starting point for core health and safety documentation. It can help business owners, managers and supervisors put basic records and arrangements in place, particularly where there is a need to demonstrate a more organised approach to workplace safety.

What this pack helps with

The documents included can support businesses with:

  • setting out general health and safety responsibilities and arrangements
  • recording common workplace hazards and control measures
  • documenting near misses and incidents
  • carrying out basic workplace inspections
  • tracking employee training and competence records

Why buy the pack instead of individual documents

Buying the pack gives you a more joined-up starting point than selecting individual templates one by one. The documents are intended to work together as a basic compliance framework, helping you cover several core areas at once while offering better value than purchasing each item separately.

Important

These documents are provided as templates and examples only. They are not automatically suitable and sufficient for every business or activity. They must be reviewed and adapted to reflect your actual work activities, workplace conditions, management arrangements and risk profile before use.

This pack is intended for lower-risk businesses. Higher-risk activities, specialist work, construction activities, significant hazardous substance use, and more complex operational settings will usually need more detailed and task-specific documentation.

A practical COSHH starter pack for businesses that need a clear starting point for recording and managing hazardous substance risks in the workplace.

This pack is designed to help employers put basic COSHH documentation in place where substances such as cleaning chemicals, paints, sprays, adhesives, oils or other workplace products are used and need to be assessed and recorded in a more organised way. It brings together the core documents needed to begin identifying substances, recording essential information, and completing substance-specific assessments.

It is best suited to lower-risk environments and more routine substance use, where the business needs a structured way to start managing COSHH but still understands that the documents must be completed properly and tailored to the actual products, tasks and conditions on site.

What’s included

  • COSHH Assessment Template
  • COSHH Register
  • Guidance Notes to Support Completion

Who this pack is for

This pack is suitable for small businesses, offices, facilities, trades and other workplaces that use hazardous substances in day-to-day activities and need a practical document set to begin organising COSHH records.

It may be useful where employers are starting from scratch, improving poor documentation, or replacing generic forms with a more structured format.

What this pack helps with

The documents in this pack can help you:

  • record hazardous substances used or stored on site
  • create a basic COSHH register
  • assess how substances are used in the task
  • consider routes of exposure and likely health risks
  • identify basic control measures, storage and emergency information
  • improve consistency in COSHH record keeping

Important

These documents are templates and guidance tools only. They are not automatically suitable and sufficient for every substance, process or work activity. They must be reviewed and adapted to reflect the actual substances used, the task, quantities, frequency of use, exposure potential, ventilation, storage arrangements, emergency arrangements and disposal requirements.

This pack is intended as a starting point for lower-risk or more routine COSHH management. More complex activities, higher-risk substances, significant exposure potential, or specialist work processes will require more detailed and task-specific assessment.

✔ Covers the key documents most clients and contractors expect
✔ Ideal for low-risk businesses and offices
✔ Instant download and editable
