For UK Small Manufacturers
Health and safety software for small manufacturers
Featherstone Safety Hub gives UK small manufacturers the same structured health and safety management that larger operations rely on, at an SME price and without enterprise complexity. Manage machinery and process risk assessments, COSHH, manual handling, noise and training, log incidents with RIDDOR screening, and keep records audit-ready for customers, certification bodies and the HSE.
Built by NEBOSH-qualified practitioners, from £29 per month, with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract.
Enterprise-level structure, SME-level price
Small manufacturers face the same legal duties as larger factories. The same machinery regulations, COSHH requirements, manual handling duties, noise assessments and RIDDOR obligations all apply, but without the health and safety team or EHS software budget that a large plant can justify.
Featherstone Safety Hub is built for this gap: a complete health and safety management system for a small manufacturer, built by NEBOSH-qualified practitioners, at a transparent monthly price that makes sense for an SME.
- Machinery risk assessments: assess and control risks from equipment, plant and production processes.
- COSHH and dust: manage substances, metal dust and chemical hazards with a substance register.
- Manual handling: assess and train for lifting, carrying and repetitive tasks on the line.
- Noise assessments: document noise levels and hearing protection controls.
- Training matrix: track machinery competence, manual handling and role-specific training with alerts.
Customer and certification audits
Small manufacturers are increasingly asked to demonstrate health and safety management by customers and certification bodies — from ISO 9001 audits that include a safety element to direct customer site audits before awarding contracts. Keeping risk assessments, training records and incident data in one organised system means you can respond professionally with current dated evidence, rather than assembling paperwork under pressure.
Practical on the shop floor
It works offline and on mobile so supervisors can complete checks and log incidents on the shop floor. Pricing is transparent from £29 per month with no long-term contract, and there is a 14-day free trial. The professional structure is built into the system — you do not need to hire a safety consultant to set it up.
