COSHH stands for Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health. The regulations relate to a wide range of substances including liquids, gels, powders, gases, dusts, fumes, blood or wast. They could be used or created as part of an industrial process, or as part of the everyday operation of the business, such as cleaning materials.
How a COSHH Assessment can benefit your business
In such cases, the HSE can impose heavy fines and in extreme cases even imprisonment, so the need for COSHH risk assessments should not be ignored.
How can health issues arise from hazardous substances?
There are many ways that employees can suffer illness or injury from the use of hazardous substances. The most likely risks will depend on the exact nature of your business.
Some of these illnesses or injuries may arise relatively quickly. However, certain ‘long-tail’ illnesses may take years to be discovered, which can have serious consequences. This underlines the importance of a timely, professional COSHH Assessment.
