Identify every substance on site
Your consultant audits every chemical, dust, fume and biological agent, from industrial solvents to everyday cleaners. Your existing SDS library is checked against actual workplace use. You leave with a complete, accurate picture of what's on site and where the gaps are.
One clear, prioritised report
You get a COSHH-compliant report linking each substance to its exposure route, health effect and control measure. The action plan is SMART, implementable, and ranked by risk. Clear next steps your team can work from, not file.
Know who's responsible and what to do next
Controls assigned using the full COSHH hierarchy - elimination, substitution, engineering controls like LEV, then PPE as last resort. Air quality testing or health surveillance set out with frequency. A 30-minute walkthrough ensures everything is understood, with 30 days of email support.
