COSHH Assessments
If chemicals are used within the workplace you are required to comply to the COSHH Regulations and carry out a COSHH assessment for each item and transmit that information to the user.
The potential health effects of exposure to substances, which may be hazardous to health, must be highlighted, assessed, controlled and rigorously enforced.
The major objective therefore is to ensure the protection of individuals, from exposure to substances present or created in their place of work, which may be hazardous to their immediate or long-term health. ADM will provide practical advice on the handling and storage of such items and compile COSHH assessments for the use of such substances that require it.
Substances
A Hazardous Substance is:
- A substance which is very toxic, toxic, corrosive, harmful or an irritant.
- A substance for which there is an exposure limit for breathing vapours, dust or fumes.
- Any micro organism hazardous to health.
- Any other substance which could create a comparable hazard to health.
- If you have any substances with any of the labels on (below), you must have procedures in place to protect your workforce.
