COSHH Assessment

A Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) assessment concentrates on the hazards and risks from substances that are stored, used or generated in your workplace. The hazards and risks are not just associated with bottles marked "Hazardous". There are a large number of substances which could be hazardous to health which could induce debilitating diseases, including asthma, cancer and skin diseases.

Many substances can be harmful to health, including metalworking fluid, dust and fume-laden air, paint, ink, glue, lubricant and detergent amongst others. A COSHH assessment will help you to manage the risks associated with using hazardous substances.
