Richard,

If you are considering any form of self employment in H&S then I would advise you to get adequate professional indemnity insurance.

With regard to qualifications, it is not compulsory as it is competence that is the issue here. However, I would advise you to get a recognised H&S qualification and quite possibly undertake risk assessment training if you haven't done so already.

Just as a matter of interest, do you already have some risk assessment work lined up or are you considering offering this service at some date in the near future?

The reason that I ask is that if you are going self employed you should seriously consider expanding the portfolio of services on offer.

Regards,

Paul Craythorne
