As H&S manager for a water company - we supplied water - I was asked for a copy of our MSDS for the product we supplied to an organisation.....(in the financial sector)
After three fruitless 'phone calls to the numpty who was 'going through COSHH' I prepared the sheet. - It simply wasn't worth arguing with him.
The usual stupidities...
Protective clothing - either swim trunks/bikini or gore-tex oversuit and rubber gloves.
Risks - from inhalation - at a concentration of 1gm/cm3
Avoid prolonged skin exposure (wrinkles etc...
Mismanagement or just a numpty doing his usual best to raise the general levels of irritation in the world? I never could decide.

There was an incident - six years ago - with the Imperial College London. The consulant completed a assessment and persons may have been exposed - the works involved a fume cupboard.
The consultant was prosecuted - belive under COSHH along with the college.

Tim,
More information about the incident to which Jeff refers at
https://www.imperial.ac....comm/hscouncil/Hscouncil(15March%202001).PDF
Also why not do a search of the HSE prosecutions database for convictions under COSHH ?
Regards, Peter

The COSHH prosecutions database is very small!
