Problem is what would HSE/EHO see - If they are not trading then there is no activity therefore no risks specifically to contend with. Any RAs and systems would also be simply words on paper.

If they employ less than 5 they would not require any written documentation i.e. risk assessments so what would be inspected?

Not really, I think HSE time should be risk based not just hundreds of random inspections. There are possibly hundreds of Ltd companies formed everyday, so there just wouldn't be the resources. However perhaps a visit at least within the first year of trading for the higher risk categories could help.
Most new companies in the UK (something like 60+% I think) are less than five people.

Is their such a Utopia as total elimination of risk?
An inspection by HSE today that says they are happy carries no weight when you have some incident next week. Daily needs are in your care. If you want comfort on a regular basis tell your local inspector he is welcome to call anytime.
