Posted By busbybelle I have just started doing our COSHH risk assessments as I was told that the previous ones weren't sufficient due to the lack of various information. The guy who did them before also included the products used by the contracted cleaners. Do I actually have to include RA & data sheets for those products as the cleaners are contracted? I was under the impression that the contractor should carry these out and give us copies.

Posted By Paul Leadbetter Strictly speaking, the contractors should do their own assessments and give you copies should your employees be at risk if the contractors do something wrong such as mixing incompatible toilet cleaners. Paul

Posted By TBC Agree with Paul they should do their own RA, COSHH etc and you should audit this, but if you supply the chemicals then it would be up to you to do the assessments. We have contract cleanners, but they use our supplies, we assess and they read and agree them. This way we maintain a closer control.
