PL E

Cleaning requires the use of chemical agents, which may be potentially dangerous. Under COSHH employers are required to protect their staff and others who may be exposed to these chemicals. Each cleaning task should be risk assessed and specific precautionary measures should be incorporated into the method statement and incorporated into the technical training. COSHH sets out the following basic measures:  Asses the risks  Decide what precautions are necessary  Ensure that control measures are used and maintained  Monitor the exposure  Carry out appropriate health surveillance  Prepare plans and procedures to deal with accidents, incidents and emergencies  Ensure employees are properly informed, trained and supervised The actions arising from the COSHH risk assessment will include: 

  

The maintenance and issue of up to date COSHH sheets relating to each of the chemical products used on the premises, including the actions to be taken in the event of an incident/accident Insistence of when to wear appropriate PPE for each task The labelling of chemical containers The storage of chemical products in a secure area, that is inaccessible to Service users Regular inspection of the use and storage of chemicals in use
