Why do we need to Risk Assess Hazardous Substances in the Workplace?

​

Managing the health and safety risks associated with hazardous substances is crucial for ensuring a safe working environment. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations require employers to assess and control risks from hazardous substances to protect workers from health hazards.

​

Exposure to hazardous substances can lead to a variety of health issues, ranging from short-term irritations and allergies to long-term chronic diseases such as asthma, dermatitis, and even cancer. By conducting COSHH risk assessments, employers can identify potential health risks and implement measures to reduce or eliminate exposure, thereby safeguarding the health of their employees.

​

Under the COSHH regulations, employers are legally required to conduct risk assessments for hazardous substances used or generated in the workplace. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in severe penalties, including fines and legal action. Regular COSHH assessments ensure that businesses meet their legal obligations and avoid the repercussions of non-compliance.
