COSHH Inventory And Safety Assessment Control Sheet
HS.FM.05.03
The employer must not carry out any work that is under his control which could expose anyone to any substance hazardous to health unless he has made a suitable and sufficient Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) assessment.
The COSHH Regulations cover work of any kind that may give rise to a hazardous exposure of employees, other workers, customers, members of the public or anyone else to a substance. The prevention and/or control of the exposure of people to a substance hazardous to health also applies where they are NOT associated directly with an employer's activity that gives rise to exposure. The regulations cover any workplace (except underground in mines and sea-going ships in normal circumstances).
COSHH covers any natural or artificial substance in any form (solid, liquid, gas, vapour, mist, etc) that could create a hazard to anyone's health. Typical example a substances capable of creating possible hazards could be:
- those listed as dangerous for supply and indicated as very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive or irritant;
-one for which a maximum exposure limit has been specified or for which an occupational exposure standard has been approved;
- a hazardous micro-organism;
- a substantial airborne concentration of dust of any kind;
- capable of causing harm to health on an immediate, delayed, accumulative or other basis to the person exposed or to their offspring, whether the hazard is capable of affecting all who are exposed or only those with certain predispositions.
COSHH risk assessment involves an assessment of the severity and extent of harm that could be caused by each substance and an assessment of the controls and precautions applied to reduce or avoid exposure to the risks.
This Chemical Substances (COSHH) Inventory and Safety Assessment Control Sheet should be used to record and monitor the properties, usage, hazards, alternative substances associated with and precautions made for each substance. It acts as a summary and control sheet for the data and analysis provided by the COSHH Safety Data Sheets that should be completed for each substance.
