Features mapped to legislation
Every feature exists because a duty requires it
HSEQ Nova is not a generic checklist tool. Each module maps to a specific UK legal duty. If the law does not require it, it is either clearly optional or it is not in the system.

Modular by design
Core for every employer — add-ons when the work requires them
Every UK employer has duties under HSWA. Not every employer needs COSHH assessments or a construction phase plan. HSEQ Nova keeps Core lean and adds industry packs only when the work asks for them.

Suitable for
From a five-person trade firm to a multi-site contractor
Core is the same for every employer. The add-ons tailor the system to the industry. The price is per company, so a 200-person firm pays the same as a five-person one.
Manufacturing
Risk assessments, COSHH for chemicals, workplace inspections for the factory floor, and a training matrix to track operator competence.
Warehousing and logistics
Incident reporting for FLT incidents, fire drills, risk assessments for racking and manual handling, and the accident book in a supervisor's pocket.
Facilities management
Multi-site inspections, fire drill records, training for cleaning and maintenance teams, and a living policy the FM director can actually point to.
Trades and SMEs
A policy that satisfies HSWA s.2(3), an accident book and risk assessments — without a system built for a thousand-person company.
Evidence for SSIP schemes
Build the evidence file as you work, not the week before the audit
CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor and other SSIP schemes ask for proof that you have a policy, risk assessments, training records, an accident book and inspections. When everything is in one system, the evidence is already there — you share a link or export a PDF.
- CHASContractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme
- ConstructionlineGovernment-backed prequalification
- SafeContractorAlcumus SafeContractor accreditation

- CQMSConstruction Qualification & Monitoring Service
HSEQ Nova is not an SSIP body. It is the system that holds the evidence these schemes ask for.
What HSEQ Nova is — and is not
The system your competent person uses
HSEQ Nova does not replace the legal duty to appoint one or more competent persons (MHSWR regulation 7). It is not consultancy, and it does not tell you what your risk assessments should say.
What it does is give your competent person, supervisors and directors a system where the policy, the accident book, assessments, inspections, training and fire drills live together — so the weekly HSEQ job is the work, not the filing.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how HSEQ Nova maps to UK law, what is included and what it costs.
What UK laws does HSEQ Nova cover?
Core covers the duties most employers share: HSWA 1974 (written policy), MHSWR 1999 (risk assessments, competent person), RIDDOR 2013 (accident book and reportable events), the Fire Safety Order 2005 (fire drills) and HSWA s.2(2)(c) (training). Add-ons cover COSHH 2002 (hazardous substances) and CDM 2015 (construction duty holders).
Is HSEQ Nova consultancy or a competent person?
Neither. HSEQ Nova is the system your competent person and managers use to keep records, run assessments and follow through on actions. It does not replace the legal duty to appoint competent help (MHSWR regulation 7), and it is not health and safety consultancy.
How does HSEQ Nova help with CHAS, Constructionline or SafeContractor?
SSIP assessors look for evidence: a signed policy, current risk assessments, training records, inspection history and an accident book. HSEQ Nova keeps all of that in one system. You can share a link or export a PDF for each evidence point, instead of rebuilding a file from scattered documents.
Do I need every add-on?
No. Core handles the duties every employer has. Switch on RAMS when a site needs method statements. Switch on COSHH when the work involves hazardous substances. Switch on CDM when you take on a duty holder role. Switch on the safety board when you need a display at the gate. You only pay for what the work requires.
How much does HSEQ Nova cost?
Core is £29.00 per month excluding 20% VAT, per company, with unlimited users. Add-ons range from £15.00 to £30.00 per month. There is no per-seat charge, so every supervisor, first aider and director can log in without affecting the price.
Can I use HSEQ Nova for ISO 45001?
HSEQ Nova Core covers the legal duties. Switch on the ISO 45001 & 9001 add-on to turn the same records into a guided management system with a work guide, clause map, internal audits, management review and an auditor pack. Certification is granted by a UKAS-accredited body, not by the software.
What industries is HSEQ Nova suitable for?
Any UK employer with health and safety duties — which is every employer. Core is industry-neutral. The add-ons tailor the system for construction (CDM, RAMS, safety board), chemical users (COSHH) and companies pursuing ISO 45001, 9001 or 14001 (ISO pack, environment).
