Free Resources Hub
Seven free tools, plus the best of what the HSE gives away
Genuinely free health and safety resources — seven interactive tools of our own, alongside posters, signs, tests and downloads from the HSE and other trusted UK organisations, gathered in one place and checked so the links actually work.
This section of the site is dedicated to free health and safety resources. The seven interactive tools are ours, built on published HSE guidance and awarding body scheme rules. Most of the rest isn’t created by Envico — we’re an independent training intermediary, and these pages collect the best free products and services published by organisations such as the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Everything listed is genuinely free: no trials, no card details, no catch.
Free interactive tools
Seven guided tools that do the working out for you. Five apply the relevant HSE framework to a few plain questions about your workplace, then give you an answer and a dated, printable record; the other two work out when a certificate runs out and where a group course is cheapest to hold. No signup, no card details, nothing stored on our servers.

Free First Aid Needs Assessment Tool
Works out how many first aiders your workplace needs and whether they should hold EFAW or FAW — the question the Regulations never answer with a number. Applies the HSE framework to your risk level, shifts and site layout, and gives you a printable record.

Free Health and Safety Training Matrix
Most matrix templates are a blank spreadsheet — you still have to know which courses belong in it. This one works that out from what your business actually does, tracks expiry dates person by person, and downloads as a PDF. No signup.

📅
Free Certificate Expiry Checker
Enter the date a course was passed and get the expiry date, the days remaining, and the course that renews it — across 65 qualifications. It also answers the question that costs money: whether the short refresher still applies, or the certificate has lapsed and the full course is required again.

Free HAVS Exposure Calculator
Work out daily hand-arm vibration exposure points and your A(8) value from the tools your team actually uses. Shows which tool is dominating the day, how long each can run before the action value, and the duties the result triggers.

Free Asbestos Register and Management Plan
Most asbestos register templates are a blank grid that leaves the scoring to you. This one applies both HSE algorithms — the material assessment and the priority assessment — ranks what to deal with first, and builds the written management plan you sign and file. Works whether or not you hold a survey.

Free F10 Notification Checker
Notifiable is not the same as more than one contractor — and that is the mistake most people make. This applies the CDM 2015 Regulation 6 test to your project, shows who must be appointed in writing, lists the documents you need, and sets out the details the F10 form asks for.

Free Group Training Travel Cost Calculator
When a team is spread across several depots, the cheapest place to hold training is rarely the obvious one. Paste in where your people travel from and the sites you could use, and it works out the total group mileage, the cost per head at your own rate, and the longest single journey — plus what hiring a venue would have to beat.
