Hi there, 

I currently subscribe to SYPOL for our COSHH assessments, however they have quoted a 23% increase for our renewal.  Does anyone use an alternative servisce for COSHH assessments thay would recommend I take a look at?

TIA

Well that really inspires confidence "900,000 pre-written COSHH assessments"

How do they know exactly what I use, how I use it, what control measures I have in place and most importantly what gaps exist that still need addressing to fulfil employer duties in controlling substances hazardous to health

Hi sappers

How many COSHH assesssments do you have?

How many of those are integrated with assessments of other risks?

Are you confident that your existing COSHH assessments do the business?

Does your workforce have input into the COSHH assessments that influence how the risks that THEY are exposed to are managed?

For reasons such as those which Roundtuit refers, is it actually likely that off she shelf COSHH assessments will be good enough to enable YOUR organisation to comply with the relevant legal duties?
