Health & Safety Compliance Tracking for Small Businesses

How custom software helps small businesses track health and safety requirements.

Every business has health and safety obligations. For construction, care, education, and food service, the requirements are substantial.

What Needs Tracking

  • Risk assessments: Living documents that need regular review.
  • Equipment inspections: Fire extinguishers, PAT testing, gas safety, electrical checks.
  • Staff training: First aid, fire marshal, manual handling, COSHH — with expiry dates.
  • Incident records: RIDDOR-reportable incidents, near misses, and accident book entries.

The Dashboard Approach

A single dashboard showing all H&S compliance areas with RAG status. Red items need immediate action. Amber items need attention soon. Green items are compliant.

The Health and Safety Executive expects businesses to demonstrate adequate systems. A digital compliance system with automatic alerts and exportable reports provides exactly the evidence they look for.
