Amendments to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulation 2002 (COSHH) 6 April 2005
“...The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations apply to virtually all work in which people are exposed, or are liable
to be exposed, to substances hazardous to health. They seek to control exposure to hazardous substances which arise out of or in connection with work which is under
the Employer's Control. The employers should assess the risks involved, put in place measures to prevent exposure, and if this is not reasonably practicable control
the exposure to substances hazardous to health....”
The document goes on to explain and summarise the regulation, explain terminology and provide information on the impact to your organisation,
including dates and timescales for implementation.
Upcoming regulation is added to the library in advance of coming into force so you make arrangements in advance. For example the 'Noise at
work – forthcoming changes' document starts with:
“...The European Directive, 2003/10/EC, has now been adopted and must be implemented in the UK by 16th February 2006....”
As well as providing regulation specific information, the library includes a variety of information in the form of general guidance, as
the below example from the 'Fork Lift Truck – General Guidance' document demonstrates:
“...The battery acid is extremely corrosive and can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with your body, hands, eyes etc. and can
damage clothing. The gas given off (hydrogen) is explosive/flammable.
The battery contains electrode plates, divided into cells. To prevent damage to them they must be covered with liquid. During charging and
use some of this liquid is evaporated. Only distilled water is required to top the level up, as acid is produced during use and charging. Care must be taken not to
over fill each cell as this will not only weaken the acid, but also create boil over during use and charge, causing damage and the risk of an explosion...”
Where appropriate we provide specific links to external sources, such as the HSE, for additional information or tools.
