COSHH Safety Tip

Develop and Adhere to Safety Rules and Procedures

Employers and employees must work together to develop safe working practices. Safety rules must be stringently followed. This can be achieved by conducting a COSHH risk assessment regularly.

A COSHH risk assessment aims to identify risks posed by hazardous substances and to develop measures to eliminate or mitigate these risks. Risk assessments are a legal requirement under both COSHH regulations and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
