Founded in the UK
CompliDocs is a UK company, built specifically for the UK regulatory environment. Our templates are written with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, UK HSE guidance, and relevant UK statutory instruments in mind.
About CompliDocs
Health & safety compliance shouldn't require a law degree.
CompliDocs was built for the owner of the local pub, the hairdresser, the corner shop — every small business that needs proper health and safety documentation but doesn't have the budget for a consultant or the hours to wade through HSE guidance.
Why CompliDocs exists
CompliDocs was founded after its founders spent time working alongside small business owners in the hospitality and services sectors and saw the same pattern repeat itself: a business needed a risk assessment or a fire safety record, had a regulatory inspection coming up, and had absolutely no idea where to start.
Hiring a health and safety consultant typically costs several hundred pounds for even a basic site visit. Generic template libraries online are either poorly adapted to UK law or buried behind expensive subscriptions built for large enterprises. Free government templates are comprehensive but require significant expertise to complete correctly.
The result is that many small businesses either skip compliance documents entirely, exposing themselves to serious legal risk, or complete forms poorly and don't realise it until something goes wrong.
We believed there had to be a better way — and CompliDocs is our answer to that problem.
Built for small businesses
We focus on the six most common small business types in the UK service sector: pubs and bars, hairdressers and barbershops, restaurants and cafes, retail shops, offices, and beauty and nail salons.
Honest about what we are
CompliDocs produces professional starting-point templates, not professional health and safety consultancy. Every document we produce carries a clear notice that it must be reviewed by a competent person before use.
The problem we're solving
UK law requires virtually every employer to have written health and safety documentation. The reality for small businesses is far more complicated than the law makes it sound.
Consultants are expensive
A qualified H&S consultant charges £300–£800 for a single site visit and risk assessment. That's not viable for a sole trader or a team of five.
It takes too much time
Reading through HSE guidance documents, understanding which regulations apply to your business, and drafting assessments from scratch can take days — time that most small business owners simply don't have.
Generic templates don't cut it
A one-size-fits-all risk assessment template doesn't reflect the specific hazards of a pub cellar, a hairdresser's chemical cabinet, or a restaurant kitchen. Irrelevant documents don't protect your staff or your business.
The consequences of non-compliance are serious
HSE inspectors can issue Improvement Notices and Prohibition Notices. Courts can impose unlimited fines and custodial sentences. The reputational damage of a serious incident can be permanent.
Regulations change
UK health and safety law evolves. Guidance is updated. What was compliant three years ago may not meet current standards. Keeping track requires constant attention — and most small business owners have neither the time nor the expertise.
Inspections happen without warning
HSE and local authority Environmental Health Officers do not always give advance notice of visits. Businesses that aren't ready often scramble to produce documentation they should have had in place all along.
How CompliDocs helps
We generate professional, business-specific health and safety documents in minutes, built around real UK regulatory requirements — at a price that every small business can afford.
01
Business-specific templates
Our templates are written specifically for each business type. A pub risk assessment covers cellar operations, intoxicated customers, and CO2 hazards. A hairdresser's COSHH assessment covers the chemical products actually used in salons. The content is relevant to your industry from day one.
02
Reviewed against UK HSE guidance
Every template in our library has been cross-referenced against current UK HSE guidance documents and the relevant statutory instruments. We update templates when guidance changes so that our content reflects current UK standards.
03
Ready in minutes, not days
Answer a short series of questions about your business, and CompliDocs generates a complete, professional document with your business name, your assessor details, and the specific hazards relevant to your operation.
04
Print-ready PDF format
Every document is generated as a professionally formatted A4 PDF with your business details, HSE-compliant tables, signature fields, and a clear review date. It looks like a consultant produced it — because the underlying content was written with that standard in mind.
05
Affordable for every small business
Our pay-per-doc option starts at £4.99 per document. Monthly subscriptions provide unlimited documents from £9.99/month. There are no hidden fees, no annual commitments, and no enterprise pricing that excludes the businesses that need us most.
06
Honest about what you still need to do
We are transparent that our documents are templates, not signed-off professional advice. Every document we produce includes a clear statement that it must be reviewed by a competent person before coming into use. We'd rather be honest than pretend compliance is simpler than it is.
Our Compliance Statement
CompliDocs templates are prepared with reference to current UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance, relevant UK statutory instruments, and approved codes of practice (ACOPs) applicable to the business types we serve.
Our templates are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in UK health and safety legislation and HSE guidance. However, CompliDocs does not warrant that any document produced using our service is complete or current at the time of use, and we strongly recommend that all documents are reviewed against the latest HSE guidance before being brought into use.
CompliDocs documents are starting-point templates. They are not professional health and safety advice. All documents produced through CompliDocs must be reviewed and signed off by a competent person before they are relied upon.
