Not every SME needs a full-time consultant or a costly management system. Sometimes, all you need is a well-structured, easy-to-use compliance folder that keeps you inspection-ready and legally covered.
At Safe and Well Together, we created the Compliance Kit for precisely this reason: to help busy business owners manage health and safety on their own terms.
Yes, absolutely, and the law supports that. If you’re a small business with five or more employees,
you are legally required to have:
However, nowhere does it state that you need to outsource this. You just need a clear system, guidance on what to include and confidence that you’re doing it right.
That’s where our SME compliance folder comes in.
This isn’t a bunch of PDFs. The Compliance Kit is a physical, high-quality file designed to sit on your shelf and prove you’re prepared when it matters.
What you get:
You don’t need specialist knowledge – just the willingness to put things in the right place.
This kit was built for:
If you’re short on time but serious about H&S, this kit is the best way to show you’ve got things under control. It teaches you about health and safety while you’re putting it together, so you learn while you go.
Let’s be honest. This kit doesn’t write your policies for you, though it helps you structure them. It doesn’t walk around your site, but it does remind you when to do inspections.
It’s not a magic bullet, but it’s the next best thing for businesses that want:
Many clients start with The Compliance Kit, then add:
A Gap and Risk Review when they grow or take on new sites
Think of the kit as your foundation. You can always build on it later.

We’ll talk you through whether the Compliance Kit is right for you, and what version will give you the best value.
1. Can I really manage health and safety myself as a small or medium-sized business owner?
Yes. As long as you have the correct documentation, procedures and training records, you can manage compliance yourself. The kit helps you stay on track.
2. What if I’ve never done this before?
That’s exactly who the kit is for. We’ve written everything in plain English, with step-by-step instructions. It’s built for non-experts.
3. Is it suitable for businesses with fewer than five staff?
Yes. In fact, our Compact version is designed for micro businesses and sole traders with growing teams.
4. How often do I need to update it?
We recommend reviewing your folder every twelve months or when something changes, i.e. new staff, new risks or changes to your workplace.
5. What if I start with the kit and later need more help?
No problem. You can book a review, add coaching or upgrade to a full health and safety programme later. The kit gives you a solid starting point.
