Built around the way UK health & safety actually works
The platform
17 connected modules. 16 free forever.
Every module shares one database, one permission model and one assistant — so a finding becomes an action, and an action becomes an answer. Open any module to see how it works.
Run the day-to-day
Capture, authorise and fix — the modules your team touches every shift.
Inspections & audits
Build a checklist once, run it on any device, and turn every failed answer into a tracked action.
Hazards & observations
Anyone can report what they see — from a QR code, no login — and it lands somewhere it gets dealt with.
Incidents & RIDDOR
Record what happened, screen it against RIDDOR with deadlines that watch themselves, and investigate properly.
Permits to work
Authorise high-risk work with the checks that must happen first — and a live board of what is open right now.
Actions
One board for everything that must get done — wherever it was raised, whoever owes it.
Registers & assessments
The documents that live for years, kept current and audit-ready.
Risk assessments
The HSE five-step method as a working editor — signed, versioned, acknowledged by the people it protects.
COSHH
A substance inventory that builds itself from the safety data sheet, assessments with signed versions, and cards at the point of work.
Fire safety
Buildings, fire risk assessments with frozen versions, and a logbook on British Standard rhythms — where a failure stays red until cleared.
RAMS & method statements
Method statements that reference your real risk assessments, an issue gate that refuses an incoherent pack, and briefings that hold up.
People, places & kit
The structure everything else scopes to — sites, teams, contractors, equipment.
Sites & teams
Your estate as a hierarchy, your people in groups, permissions that say who can do what — the backbone everything scopes to.
Assets
A register of the kit work happens on — typed, site-assigned, nested, and linked to the checks and actions that concern it.
Contractors
Approve who comes on site: documents and insurance verified, RAMS reviewed, inductions done, sign-in at the gate.
Training & competence
Who is trained in what, and what expires when — a matrix that answers the competence question at a glance.
Documents
Policies, procedures and certificates in one controlled library — versioned, visible to the right people, signed where it matters.
Briefings
Push what the team must know — toolbox talks, alerts, policy changes — and see who has actually engaged with it.
Intelligence
Ask questions in plain language and see the whole picture.
The golden thread
A finding becomes a fix — and stays linked
Point solutions leave the connective tissue to spreadsheets. Here the inspection question, the hazard report and the investigation finding all raise actions that link back to their source — so “what did we do about it?” always has an answer, in both directions.
- Failed inspection responses raise actions carrying the exact question and site
- Hazard reports promote to incidents with photos and history intact
- Investigation findings become owned, due-dated actions at approval — exactly once
- Every record reads its follow-up work back, so audit trails run both ways
Ask, don’t dig
Your operations, one WhatsApp message away
No app to open, no dashboard to learn. Your team messages the FreeHS assistant on WhatsApp and gets answers scoped to your organisation — instantly. We match the sender to their account, look up only their data, and reply in the same chat.
- Answers scoped to the sender’s own organisation and permissions
- The same AI assistant as the web app — one bubble, every page
- Secure: every inbound message is signature-verified
