COSHH Assessment Tool

HSE COSHH Essentials

Türkçe
100 chemicals
📄 Document Information - * only Process / Task, Assessed By and Date are required for PDF/list record
🔵 Chemical and SDS Classification
🟡 Operating Conditions
* Required for the COSHH calculation
Only ≤15 minutes affects the HSE short-task filter; other durations are recorded only.
🔵 Existing Controls and Conclusion
🔍 Control Effectiveness Verification optional · does not change CA
Core question: Is the control merely present, or is it actually working during the task with evidence that it is effective? This is not an official HSE score; it is a structured verification layer comparing the required CA with field implementation.
Basis: HSE control measures · principles of good control practice
📏 Exposure Measurement / OEL Comparison optional · not used in CA/EP
If available, compares a personal/air measurement with the selected reference OEL. Being below an OEL does not by itself prove adequate control. Representativeness and the measurement method require separate review.
No measurement entered.
Basis: HSE exposure monitoring · EH40
⚕ Worker Health / Health Surveillance no diagnosis is recorded
Automatically flags chemical properties that may require occupational-health attention. This module does not diagnose disease and does not store worker medical conditions; it supports assessment of occupational-physician / health-surveillance needs.
Health triggers derived from the chemical
Select a chemical
Basis: HSE COSHH health surveillance · clinical outcomes are personal/confidential and should not be entered into this tool.
🧪 Simultaneous / Mixed Exposure synergy is not assumed automatically
Record other chemicals present during the same task. The tool does not infer synergy or potentiation automatically from H-codes.
Mixed exposure not assessed.
EH40 mixed-exposure approach: additive assessment may be appropriate when the same health effect and suitable reference periods are confirmed; suspected synergy/potentiation requires specialist advice. EH40
Detailed PPE verification (optional)
Automatic selection is a preliminary recommendation only. Detailed fields are not mandatory for PDF output; missing items appear as verification warnings in the PDF. Final PPE must be selected from current SDS Section 8 and task conditions. PPE does not replace engineering controls.
Verify the automatic text against current product SDS Section 4 and edit where necessary.
Verify the automatic text against current product SDS Sections 6, 8, 10 and 13.
Verify the general H-code-derived text against product SDS Sections 7 and 10.
🟢 Calculation Result
Select a chemical. The hazard band is shown immediately; EP and the control approach are calculated automatically when scale and the required dustiness/temperature input are complete.

Control Adequacy / Field Verification
Not assessed
Existing controls and verification evidence have not been entered.
This output is not a residual-risk score and must not be interpreted as an official HSE score.
Exposure Verification
No measurement
TWA/STEL measurement is optional.
Worker Health
Chemical health triggers are shown here.
Mixed Exposure
No simultaneous exposure reported.
Integrated Assessment Direction
Additional verification required
    The COSHH Essentials core remains unchanged. This direction combines control effectiveness, measurement, health and mixed-exposure information as separate layers; it is not a clinical decision or numerical residual-risk score.
    ℹ️ Limitations
    The COSHH Essentials core selects the required control approach. Additional modules structure field-control effectiveness, exposure measurement, health-surveillance triggers and mixed exposure; they do not replace process-safety, fire/explosion, environmental or task-specific specialist assessment.
    OELs are not inputs to this calculation engine. Check current national legislation, the product SDS and the exposure-monitoring strategy separately.
    📚 Assessment List0
    No assessments have been added yet.
    Method: HSE COSHH Essentials technical basis. The 100-chemical reference classification dataset is locked; current product SDS and actual task conditions still require site-specific verification.
