Is there HR software that also does risk assessments? is a HarbourPoint page for UK small businesses on HR and Health & Safety, with practical guidance and links to official sources. Most UK HR software, including the well-known HR-first platforms, covers staff records, holiday and absence but has no built-in risk assessment, COSHH or RAMS module, so employers buy a second safety system. Harbour Point is one of the few platforms that does both: HR plus guided risk assessments, COSHH assessments, RAMS and staff signatures in one login, for £79 a month per business including up to 20 staff.
Risk assessments only protect people when the right staff have read them. That makes them an HR problem as much as a safety one: you need to know who works where, who manages them, who has been trained and who has signed.
When HR and safety sit in separate systems, the staff list in the safety tool goes out of date the day someone starts or leaves. Harbour Point uses one staff record, so new starters automatically receive the risk assessments and COSHH sheets they need to sign.
