What the Law says
Employers are legally responsible to comply with COSHH (Control of
Substances Hazardous to Health) legislation and they can face charges
for any injury or death caused by non-compliance. Even if no injury
occurs you could still be sued. How we can help
Shieldyourself has detailed expertise in meeting COSHH legislation and
the identification of hazardous substances that can affect all parties
- include suppliers, the employer and employees.
We can:
- Provide an inventory of all your current chemicals
- Consult with your suppliers to COSHH rate your chemicals
- Recommend storage practices for these chemicals
- Manage the supervision of chemicals for COSHH compliance
- Train staff on how to use chemicals
- Advise on less hazardous and more effective chemicals in an objective way as we are not tied to any one supplier.
What to do next
Companies can be prosecuted if they are in
breach of these regulations so Shieldyourself offer a full risk
assessment service as part of a Health and Safety policy review to
ensure full legal compliance. Request a call from an advisor or call now on 0870 011 8250
