Publisher's Synopsis
This booklet provides advice and guidance to employers for assessment of their activities under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 (COSHH). It replaces "COSHH Assessments: A Step by Step Guide to Assessment and the Skills Needed for it" published by HSE when COSHH was first introduced. This guidance takes note of the experience in assessment that has been gained since 1988 and the new requirement for regular review. The principles of assessment have not changed sinch COSHH first appeared, but this booklet illustrates them with extensive examples.
