As a sole trader, it's important to be aware that health and safety regulations still apply to you. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 outlines the general responsibilities that individuals, including sole traders, have to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of everyone involved in their business.
Although resources may be limited for sole traders, seeking professional advice from consultants regarding health and safety matters can prove to be extremely helpful for the success of your business and ensure that you are complying with the law.
​
At Alba Health and Safety Consulting, we understand Sole Traders don’t have access to health and safety resources as larger businesses do. That’s why we have fixed-priced packages and advisory services specifically tailored to support their needs and budgets. We don’t believe in imposing long-term contractual obligations on our clients, and instead, operate on a pay-as-you-go model. Even our fixed fee retained advisory service only has a one-month notice period. This approach ensures that you are charged only for the services you want and use, without committing to anything long-term.

Here's how Alba Health and Safety Consulting can support Sole Traders with Health and Safety :
