Description
This editable COSHH Risk Assessment template helps office and facilities managers assess routine hazardous substances used in small and medium-sized offices, including cleaning products, aerosols and maintenance chemicals.
Designed around UK COSHH requirements, it provides a clear, structured way to consider the substance, the task being undertaken, how people may be exposed and whether existing control measures adequately protect them.
The template covers product and Safety Data Sheet information, Workplace Exposure Limits, exposure routes, hazard statements, existing controls, PPE, first aid, storage, spillages, waste disposal, monitoring, health surveillance, risk evaluation and further actions.
It is fully editable, allowing you to add your organisation’s logo and tailor the assessment to the particular product, workplace and activity.
