HANDSHQ Limited specializes in health and safety software solutions that streamline risk assessments and compliance management. Co-founded by Jamie Carruthers and Alex Green, the company is headquartered in London, UK. In August 2025, Health & Safety Institute, Inc.

HANDSHQ Limited offers a suite of smart health and safety software solutions designed to enhance workplace safety and compliance. Its core product, the RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) software, facilitates the creation of effective risk assessments, reducing preparation time and minimizing rejections.
