Hazardous Substances (COSHH) and MSDS

Hazardous substances can often be overlooked during the risk assessment process but can often cause the most painful and long term health issues within your employees. Hazardous substances include both chemical and biological agents and can vary in nature from dust to viruses and can be used in or created by work processes. Introducing effective controls and implementing a management system can have benefits such as improved productivity thanks to lower levels of ill health and more effective use of materials.

Advantages of AssessNET’s comprehensive COSHH module include the ability to assess the process that the substance is used in rather than just the substance itself. This allows you to assess processes that involve the use of multiple substances from within the same easy to use system. The COSHH module also utilises a graphical method of entering data which allows the user to cross check the assessment against the classification symbols on the labels of the substances themselves.

Substances are also saved separately to processes and can also be copied from other processes enabling you to save time inputting substances that are used regularly throughout your organisation.

Once the assessment has been entered it is possible to assign additional control measures to the process that can be actioned to users of AssessNET to complete. These actions then tie in with AssessNET’s revolutionary task manager system, allowing you to view the progress through the task.
