For the person who has to produce and keep a firm's health and safety paperwork: the safety manager or adviser in a firm too small to have a department, the SHEQ or compliance person at a contractor, and the site or office manager who has had health and safety added to their job.Not for the worker looking up what an acronym means, the person choosing a NEBOSH or IOSH course, the fire-protection contractor, the vehicle or fleet inspector, the home or property inspector, or anyone who needs advice about their own workplace rather than a place to keep the record of it.
Writing a risk assessment is a morning's work. Keeping thirty of them current, knowing which is due next month, finding the one an insurer asks about two years later, and proving the people it covers were told what changed is the rest of the job, and it is the part nobody costs. Coshhvo starts with two free worksheets that put a number on it: a risk assessment form that sizes and prices a firm's whole assessment programme from its own activities and review cycle, and a COSHH assessment worksheet that does the same from the substances actually on site. The paid plan keeps what they sized, with an author, a date and a review date on every record.
Coshhvo Pro is £100 a month for the whole firm, billed monthly, however many people write your assessments.
Free to use. No account, no card, no trial clock.
The worksheet tells you what the programme costs. It cannot tell you, in March, which assessment was due in November and never reviewed. Pro keeps the records themselves.

Write it, date it, find it
A folder of documents is not a file. A record with an author and a date can be questioned, defended and improved; a Word file called RA_final_v3.docx on a shared drive can only be argued about. The name on the record is what turns a document into evidence that somebody competent did the work.
Reviews slip because they are diary events attached to nothing. When the review date lives on the record, the month's work is a list of what is owed rather than a memory of what was done, and an assessment nobody has looked at since the process changed shows up as overdue instead of as silence.
A revised assessment that nobody has read has changed nothing on the floor. Holding the versions and the briefing against the record is what makes the difference between a firm that assessed a risk and a firm that can show the people exposed to it were told what to do about it.
If you want somebody competent to walk your premises, write your assessments and take the professional responsibility for them, hire a consultant; software cannot do that and this page will not pretend it can. Coshhvo is for what happens afterwards, which is the part a consultant hands back to you.
