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.

There is a legal requirement 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.

Please note that COSHH Risk Assessments  can also be covered as part of our Health and Safety Membership Scheme.
