An afternoon's paperwork, done in minutes

Guided digital tools that take a UK health and safety assessment off your hands — they walk you through the HSE framework, work out the risk level, match the controls, and hand you a dated record to file. Some run free in your browser right now. The rest are paid downloads you own outright. Built for real workplaces either way.

These answer the questions that usually come before an assessment — what training your people need, which CITB course a site role actually calls for, when a certificate runs out and what renews it, how many first aiders, whether an exposure level is over the limit, which asbestos to deal with first, whether a construction project has to be notified to HSE, and what it will cost to get a group to the training. No account, no email address, nothing to install, and nothing you enter leaves your device.

Health & Safety Training Matrix Works out which training applies to your workplace by sector, hazard and job role, then tracks who is covered and when each certificate expires. Build your matrix → Which CITB Course Do I Need? Matches what you actually do on site to the right CITB Site Safety Plus course, tells you whether the shorter refresher still applies or the certificate has lapsed, and flags the courses commonly needed alongside it. Find your course → Certificate Expiry Checker Works out when a certificate runs out from the date it was passed, across 65 qualifications — and whether the short refresher still applies or the full course is needed again. Check a certificate → First Aid Needs Assessment Works out how many first aiders you need and whether they should hold EFAW or FAW — the question the Regulations deliberately leave open. Run the assessment → HAVS Exposure Calculator Works out daily vibration exposure points and your A(8) value from the tools your team actually uses, and shows which one is dominating the day. Calculate exposure → Asbestos Register & Management Plan Scores every material on both HSE algorithms, ranks what to deal with first, and builds the written management plan you sign and file. Build your register → CDM Duty Holder & F10 Notification Checker Works out whether a construction project is notifiable to HSE under CDM 2015, who must be appointed in writing, and which documents are required. Check your project → Group Training Travel Cost Calculator Works out which of your sites costs the group least to travel to, and whether hiring a venue anywhere would beat them all. Compare your sites →
The free tools are complete, not trials — nothing is held back or watermarked, and there is no limit on how often you use them.

Why a guided tool, not a blank template

A blank template hands you an empty form and assumes you already know the answers. That's where the hours go — and where hazards get missed. This applies equally to the free tools and the paid downloads.

The blank-template way

—Start at an empty form, working out what to even consider
—Easy to miss a hazard you didn't think to look for
—Judge how serious each risk is from scratch
—Work out which controls apply, then write it all up
—Best part of an afternoon, per assessment

With a guided tool

✓Answer plain questions about your site — the structure is built in
✓Every hazard the HSE framework covers is checked, so nothing slips through
✓The risk level is worked out for you, with the reasoning shown
✓Each issue is matched to a recognised control automatically
✓A dated, printable record in minutes

Exactly which parts it takes off your plate

A risk assessment has five steps. These tools don't replace your judgement of your own workplace — they remove everything around it that makes the job slow. Here's who does what.

1

Spot the hazards

The tool prompts every category the framework covers; you confirm what's present on your site.

You + tool
2

Decide who could be harmed

You bring the knowledge of your people, visitors and site; the tool asks the right questions.

You + tool
3

Evaluate the risk

The hardest step, done for you — it applies the framework's logic and gives a risk level with the reasoning shown.

Tool does it
4

Record your findings

A dated, printable assessment is generated automatically — the document an inspector or insurer asks to see.

Tool does it
5

Review it later

Re-run it next year or after a change in minutes, instead of starting over.

You bring the site knowledge The tool does the legwork

What every tool gives you

Not a shortcut around your duty — the legwork around it. This is true of the free tools and the paid downloads alike.

01

No blank page

The framework is built in, so you're never guessing what to consider.

02

Nothing missed

Every hazard category is checked, so the assessment is complete, not just the obvious risks.

03

A record to file

A dated, printable assessment — exactly the evidence an inspector or insurer wants.

04

Yours to reuse

Every site, area and season. No per-person fee, no booking, no expiry.

The free tools and the downloads do different jobs

The paid downloads aren't a premium version of the free ones — they cover different ground. The free tools answer the scoping questions that come first; the paid downloads are the hazard-specific risk assessments themselves. Most people end up using both.

The free tools — working out what you need

Questions you ask before any assessment starts. Run them here, as often as you like.

  • Which training applies to these roles, and when does it expire
  • Which CITB course does this site role actually need
  • When does this certificate run out, and does the refresher still apply
  • How many first aiders, and at what level
  • Is this vibration exposure over the limit
  • Which asbestos material do we deal with first
  • Does this project have to be notified to HSE
  • Which of our sites is cheapest for the group to reach
One tool appears in both. The First Aid Needs Assessment is free to run here and also sold as a paid download. Same assessment, same record — the download is for people who want to own the file, use it offline and keep it with their own records. If you're assessing one workplace once a year, the free version is all you need.
What these are. These are working aids, not a replacement for your legal duty to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment — the judgement of your own workplace stays with you. They're built on published HSE guidance (and aren't endorsed by the HSE). What they remove is the blank page, the "how serious is this," and the write-up — turning a daunting task into a finished, filed document in minutes.

The paid downloads are listed below, with prices. After accredited training instead? Head to All Courses.
