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.
