Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Consultancy Services
These consultancy services are designed to assist organisations to:
a) Review and enhance their arrangements for the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
b) Review current COSHH risk assessments and facilitate COSHH risk assessments for additional substances, or additional ways of using substances.
a) Review and enhance organisational arrangements for the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
The RoSPA consultant will carry out a comprehensive audit that will consider:
- The procedural arrangements for the management of COSHH against current best practice
- The degree to which these standards are achieved in practice.
A full and comprehensive report will be produced that will describe the current situation and include a draft action plan of how current arrangements can be enhanced.
Subsequent to receipt of the audit report and adoption of a remedial action plan, RoSPA’s consultant can, if required, support its systematic implementation as well as verifying by audit that objectives have been met.
b) Review current COSHH risk assessments and facilitate COSHH risk assessments for additional substances, or additional ways of using substances
The RoSPA consultant will work with you to review the content and quality of current COSHH risk assessments in order to ensure that they provide a suitable and sufficient evaluation that covers the use of substances, the degree of potential exposure and the appropriateness of necessary risk control measures.
The consultant will also facilitate the carrying out of suitable and sufficient risk assessments that cover the use of additional substances or additional ways of using substances.
The consultant will then provide the client with records of the assessment in order to facilitate future reviews and to aid communication of hazards, level of risk and established control measures associated with the substance use.
