Improve your compliance process with COSHH regulations using this specialized assessment template. The template focuses exclusively on chemical and biological hazards with sections for hazard identification, exposure routes, and appropriate control measures. For example, you can use it to document proper handling procedures for corrosive cleaning agents in your maintenance department, preventing costly workplace injuries.

Despite the thousands of substances used in workplaces, the COSHH framework sets official Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) for only around 500 of them. This template gives you a reliable system for evaluating risks, helping ensure thorough assessments and regulatory compliance.

Frequently asked questions

What information do I need to gather before completing this COSHH assessment template?

Before starting, collect safety data sheets for each substance, information about how and where substances are used, existing control measures, and details about who might be exposed. Consider also gathering information about previous incidents or health issues related to these substances in your workplace.

How can I use this template to prioritize which substances need immediate attention?

Focus on substances with both high likelihood of exposure and severe potential consequences. The template’s risk assessment section helps you identify these high-priority hazards by evaluating both factors. Start implementing control measures for these substances first, while developing plans for lower-risk materials.

How do I determine if substitution is possible for a hazardous substance on my assessment?

Research less hazardous alternatives by consulting suppliers, industry associations, and safety publications. Consider whether the alternative can perform the same function effectively while presenting lower health risks. Document your substitution decisions in the template, noting when alternatives were evaluated but found unsuitable.
