Because it is not adequately maintained. Its 19 years since REACH and 17 since CLP which introduced Hazard (H) and Precautionary (P) Statements. The e-tool harks back to the defunct Risk (R) and Safety (S) phrases.

that was the first hit on google...more likely cost of maintainance is the driver.

It does indeed sound like cost cutting. With a new Government looking even keener to "cut red tape" than the last one, perhaps HSE is also gearing up for radical change to COSHH etc.

Whilst I never really used the e-tool, I have quite often referred to the associated guidance note
'COSHH essentials: Controlling exposure to chemicals – a simple control banding approach'
(a search for 'the technical basis for coshh essentials' should get you directly there)
I have found this a very useful guide for qualitative exposure assessments - it's still there so I would recommend downloading it before it vanishes.

Call me an old cynic but i remember when the Stress Assessment survey was free, and the online Mac Tool (not just the charts) all now with a private company and a cost to use! I like COSHH essentials but it has its limitations no way would i pay or it.
