COSHH risk assessment service

A COSHH risk assessment is designed to provide specific controls for the use of a substance, bespoke to how it’s used in the workplace.

A COSHH assessment is used to make sure that control measures are taken into consideration to prevent or control exposure to substances that are hazardous to health. This will demonstrate that appropriate judgments and considerations have been taken to minimise health risks.

The COSHH assessment contains important information about the health and safety hazards posed by the use of chemicals and substances, required exposure control measures, first aid requirements, spillage containment, safe disposal requirements and so forth. COSHH personnel use this information to control and prevent exposure to these hazards.
