What is a COSHH assessment?
A COSHH risk assessment is required under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations and should identify the hazards and risks of hazardous substances in a workplace and set out suitable control measures.
You can find hazardous substances in most workplaces, from simple cleaning products to complex chemicals. COSHH risk assessments are also required for the hazardous substances you create as by-products, such as dust and fumes.
COSHH Assessments that are suitable and sufficient.
Generic assessments with a simple location tag are no longer considered adequate. That’s why we’ve gone the extra mile to design intuitive software that empowers you to create comprehensive COSHH assessments. Our programme doesn’t just focus on the substance itself; it considers the specific circumstances, processes, and conditions in which the substances are used or encountered.

The recommended control approaches and measures, based on your selected hazard phrases, quantities used and material form are fully editable and enable you to make your assessment both site and process-specific.
