Everything you need to manage health and safety, in one place
Most UK small businesses manage health and safety across a mix of spreadsheets, paper folders and memory. It works until something goes wrong, an inspector visits, or a client asks for evidence, and then the gaps appear. Featherstone Safety Hub replaces that patchwork with a single, organised system that keeps your records current, your reviews on schedule, and your evidence ready.
The platform is designed so that a business owner or manager without a safety background can produce professional, defensible records, because the structure reflects what the HSE expects. You stay in control of your compliance rather than depending on an outside adviser for routine tasks.
- Risk assessments and COSHH: build professional assessments from guided templates with risk scoring and printable PDF output.
- Training matrix: track every employee's training status with automatic overdue alerts.
- Incident register: log accidents, near misses and dangerous occurrences with built-in RIDDOR screening.
- Evidence library: store certificates and documents with expiry tracking and colour-coded status.
- Monthly safety reviews: structured reviews that keep you compliant and give clients a transparent record.
Why UK SMEs choose Featherstone Safety Hub
Many health and safety providers are built for large organisations or sold as advisory contracts with pricing quoted only after a sales call and a commitment of one to three years. That model is often more than a small business needs, and more than it wants to pay for.
Featherstone Safety Hub takes a different approach. Pricing is published openly, billing is monthly, and you can cancel at any time. The professional expertise is built into the software rather than charged separately, and you can be up and running the same day with a free trial.
- Transparent pricing: £29 per month Starter, £79 per month Professional, with optional add-ons, all published openly.
- No lock-in: monthly billing with no multi-year contract and cancel any time.
- Real expertise: built and supported by NEBOSH-qualified UK health and safety practitioners.
- Works offline: use it on site without a signal and it syncs automatically when you reconnect.
What the law expects of you
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, every employer must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of employees and others affected by their work. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require you to assess risks and act on them, and businesses with five or more employees must have a written health and safety policy and record the significant findings of their risk assessments.
In practice this means keeping risk assessments current, training staff and recording it, logging and investigating incidents, and being able to produce evidence when asked. Featherstone Safety Hub is structured around exactly these duties, so meeting them becomes part of your routine rather than a scramble before an inspection.
Grows with your business
The Starter plan covers the core duties every business shares. As you grow, the Professional plan adds fire checks, contractor management, a document register, DSE assessments and toolbox talks, and optional add-ons cover Permit to Work, Environmental management and a library of 40 awareness training courses that feed results straight into your training matrix.
Because everything lives in one connected system, your training, evidence and records stay joined up as you add modules, rather than scattering across new tools.

How we compiled this
Transparent pricing, features and how we describe them
Everything on this page describes Featherstone Safety Hub as it is actually built and sold. Pricing is the published rate - £29 per month for Starter and £79 per month for Professional, billed monthly with no long-term contract - not an indicative or negotiated figure quoted after a sales call. Add-ons (Permit to Work, Environmental) and the awareness-training library are priced separately and labelled as add-ons wherever they appear.
Feature descriptions reflect what is live in the product. Where a capability is part of the Professional plan or an add-on rather than Starter, we say so, so you can judge what your business would actually pay for. Screenshots used across the site are real screens from the live app, not mock-ups.
This page was last reviewed in July 2026. Where we reference the legal position, it is drawn from current HSE guidance and UK legislation, linked below. It is a plain-English summary to help you decide, not legal advice.

Safety Hub is a management and record-keeping tool. It does not replace competent health and safety advice, legal advice, professional judgement or the employer's statutory duties. Users remain responsible for checking that records, assessments, actions and reports are accurate, suitable, sufficient and kept up to date.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions

Featherstone Safety Hub is built specifically for UK SMEs, covering risk assessments, COSHH, training, incidents and evidence in one place, with transparent pricing from £29 per month and a 14-day free trial.
Costs vary widely. Many providers quote only after a sales call and tie you into multi-year contracts. Featherstone Safety Hub publishes its pricing openly: £29 per month for the Starter plan and £79 per month for the Professional plan, billed monthly with no long-term commitment.
Even very small businesses have legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, including risk assessments and, with five or more employees, a written health and safety policy. Software makes these duties easier to meet and helps evidence what you have recorded, reviewed and actioned, which matters during an HSE inspection, an insurance claim or a client audit.
