Presented in an easy-flow format to steer the user through both the document itself and the key COSHH stages such as: gathering information about the substances and associated work and practices, then evaluating the risks to health before finally deciding on the necessary measures to comply with regulations 7-13. Advice is also given on the recording and review of assessments, matters of competence and a study of what is deemed 'reasonable practicability'.
