COSHH Risk Assessments

COSHH Risk Assessments

There is a legal requirement (the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations) for organisations to carry out specific COSHH Risk Assessments of activities that involve the use of hazardous substances.

Hazardous substances include:

• Any chemicals with an orange warning label (e.g. toxic, harmful etc.);
• Biological agents (e.g. Legionella, HIV, tetanus);
• Plants, flowers and vegetables (they can cause dermatitis);
• Fumes or dust.

COSHH Risk Assessments should consider:

• The hazards presented by the substance;
• The safety data sheet provided by the supplier/manufacturer (in the case of chemicals);
• The likely route of exposure (e.g. breathed in, swallowed, injected etc.);
• The duration of exposure;
• The severity of any likely ill-health effects, and any required first aid treatment;
• The methods of disposing of the substance;
• Storage methods and any special fire fighting requirements.
