Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. The only constants DailyLogDesk supplies are the published reporting clocks and assessment steps, each cited where it is used. The defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
Health and safety risk assessment cost has two honest answers: nothing but time, when a competent person in the business walks the task and writes it with the free template on this site, and a consultant's day rate times the days, when the hazards are outside what the business knows. What decides between them is competence for the task, not the size of the company, and no market rate for consultants is quoted here because this estate has not measured one. The risk assessment template on this site prints the assessment, free and without an account; DailyLogDesk Pro keeps it against the project.

Doing it in-house: the cost is time
A competent person who knows the task and the site walks it, writes the rows and scores them, in the time between winning the job and starting it. The template on this site does the arithmetic and the printing, free, so the in-house cost is the walk and the writing.
Buying it: what drives a consultant's price
The days on site, which follow the number of distinct activities and locations; the hazards that need specialist judgement, asbestos, noise, vibration, hazardous substances; and the report the client wants. A consultant's figure is theirs to quote, and the way to compare quotes is per activity assessed, not per visit.
The middle road most small contractors take
The routine tasks assessed in-house on the template, the specialist hazards bought as single assessments from a consultant, and everything filed together against the project. That keeps the spend on the judgement that needs buying rather than on paperwork the business can do.
What the software costs
From the vendors' own pricing pages: SafetyCulture lists its Premium plan at $29 per seat per month billed monthly or $24 billed annually, with a free plan for small teams; Contractor Foreman lists its Basic plan at $49 per month for one user. DailyLogDesk Pro is $29 per month for the whole site team. The record, the review dates and the briefings are what the paid tier holds; the assessment itself never needs an account.

Health and safety risk assessment cost: common questions
How much does a health and safety risk assessment cost?
In-house, the time of a competent person with the free template. From a consultant, their day rate times the days; no market rate is asserted here. The template on this site is the free half of that answer.
Do I need a consultant for my risk assessments?
Only where the hazard needs judgement the business does not have. Competence for the task is the test, not headcount.
Is the template free?
Yes, with no account and no card. Pro keeps the assessments against the project.
