The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations require a documented risk assessment for any hazardous substance used on site, including many everyday cleaning chemicals. That means data sheets, storage requirements and staff training all need to be current and accessible, not just filed away.
It's common for COSHH documentation to be current for the primary cleaning contractor but out of date for ad-hoc contractors, seasonal grounds work, or in-house teams using their own supplies. Any substance brought onto site needs to sit within the same compliance framework.
Incompatible substances stored together, or hazardous chemicals stored without appropriate ventilation or signage, are among the most common findings in a compliance review — even when the paperwork itself is in order.
Our Facilities Management contracts include COSHH documentation as standard, covering every substance our teams bring on site, with records accessible through your client portal rather than filed away and forgotten.
