Industries that rely on COSHH risk assessments
Any organisation working with hazardous substances, preparations, or biological agents needs a robust COSHH process that keeps assessments current and evidence ready.
Manufacturing & Processing
Production sites use Lumiform to assess exposure to solvents, cleaning agents, and process chemicals, capture controls at each workstation, and ensure reviews are repeated on schedule when formulations or equipment change.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical
Labs and production facilities record COSHH data for intermediates, finished products, reagents, and lab-scale experiments. Teams document exposure scenarios, ventilation, and PPE and track approvals from qualified personnel before work begins.
Facilities Management & Cleaning Services
FM providers document risks for cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, and pest control products across client sites. Mobile COSHH assessments and clear action tracking help them prove safe use and storage to clients and auditors.
Construction & Trades
Contractors assess substances like concrete additives, paints, resins, dusts, and fuels on site. Foremen and H&S managers capture controls for tasks such as mixing, spraying, and cutting, and keep a live log of COSHH assessments per project.
Healthcare & Care Services
Hospitals, clinics, and care homes use digital COSHH assessments to monitor disinfectants, sterilisation chemicals, and lab reagents. Documentation is kept accessible for staff training, inspections, and infection control audits.
Waste Management & Environmental Services
Waste handlers and environmental service providers evaluate exposure risks for collected chemicals, contaminated materials, and treatment processes, with assessments and actions tied directly to routes, depots, and contracts.

Common questions
Yes. Each COSHH form in Lumiform can include file upload fields so assessors attach safety data sheets, exposure limit tables, local procedures, or photos of labels and storage areas. These attachments stay linked to the specific substance record and are available in the report, making it easier to show evidence during inspections.
You maintain a single master COSHH template in Lumiform and roll it out to all locations. When you update fields or add new guidance, the latest version is available immediately for everyone. Dashboards highlight which substances or locations are approaching their review date, so you can trigger follow-up assessments instead of relying on ad-hoc reminders.
You can create multiple COSHH templates for different contexts and assign each one to specific user groups or sites. For example, a lab template might prioritise experimental procedures and fume cupboards, while a cleaning template focuses on dilution, storage, and shift patterns. Staff only see the forms relevant to their work.
The Lumiform mobile app is designed for offline use on both iOS and Android. Teams complete COSHH assessments, capture photos, and scan barcodes without a signal. All data is stored securely on the device and synchronised to the platform automatically once an internet connection is available—no extra upload step is needed.
Yes. You can configure a workflow where an assessor completes a COSHH form, which then routes to a competent person, HSE manager, or external consultant for review. Only after they approve it does the assessment appear as current in your hazardous substances register. This ensures a clear separation between draft and approved assessments.
When an assessment identifies missing controls, you can create actions directly from the form. Each action is assigned to an owner with a due date, status, and comments. Progress is visible on dashboards, and overdue tasks trigger notifications so nothing is forgotten.
Lumiform lets you run COSHH, fire, environmental, and general risk assessments all in one system. You can use shared reference fields (like site, area, or process) so related records are easy to filter and compare. This makes it simpler to show, for example, how COSHH controls tie in with fire safety and environmental protection for a given area.
All submitted assessments are stored in a searchable log. You can filter by substance name, location, assessor, date, risk rating, or other fields you define. Reports are also generated as PDFs at submission time. If you want an extra copy in your own systems, you can automate exports to SharePoint, Google Drive, or other storage tools via integrations.
