COSHH Assessment Template — UK Compliance (PRO)

The Pro Pack adds three fully filled-out worked examples and the operational tools you need to evidence ongoing COSHH compliance, not just complete a single assessment. This is what builds the audit trail Regulation 11 requires when HSE knocks on the door.

What you get (7 files):

1. COSHH Assessment Template (Word) - the same blank template as Basic, structured to HSE's 8-step methodology with 5x5 colour-coded risk matrix and full control hierarchy.

2. Worked Example: Sparkle Commercial Cleaning Ltd - completed assessment for sodium hypochlorite (bleach) covering a real-world cleaning company scenario. Use as a reference for any cleaning, janitorial, or facilities management business.

3. Worked Example: Northgate Motor Services - completed assessment for brake and clutch cleaner (highly flammable, harmful by inhalation) for an MOT and servicing garage. Adapt for any automotive workshop, body shop, or vehicle maintenance operation.

4. Worked Example: The Cutting Lounge - completed assessment for permanent hair colourant containing PPD (paraphenylenediamine, a known skin sensitiser) for a hair salon. Adapt for any salon, barber, beauty business, or nail bar.

5. Excel Substance Scoring Calculator - three-sheet workbook with auto-calculated risk scores driven by likelihood and severity dropdowns, conditional formatting that flags high-risk substances in red, a substance register sheet for whole-business inventory tracking, and a how-to-use guide.

6. COSHH Compliance Checklist (PDF) - 33-point self-audit covering Regulations 6 through 13, organised across 8 sections: assessment completeness, prevention and control measures, monitoring, health surveillance, information and training, emergency procedures, record-keeping, and review cycles. Print and tick off, or use as a pre-inspection self-audit.

7. Substance Log Book (Word, landscape A4) - operational log covering substance receipt and stock control, daily and weekly use records, local exhaust ventilation (LEV) inspection logs, health surveillance records, training delivered and attended, and incident and near-miss reporting with corrective actions. Turn a one-off assessment into ongoing defensible evidence.

Why Pro and not Basic:

- Three real-world worked examples cut hours of guesswork on your first assessment

- The Excel calculator removes the maths from risk scoring and prevents inconsistent scoring across your team

- The checklist gives genuine confidence your assessment is complete before HSE arrives

- The log book is what turns a document into a system of ongoing compliance

Built for UK SMEs who can't justify a £600 to £1,200 external consultant fee per assessment but need documentation that holds up under inspection. Particularly suited to cleaning and janitorial firms, MOT centres and garages, salons and beauty businesses, small manufacturers, dental practices, food producers, print studios, agricultural businesses, schools, care homes, and landlords managing HMOs or holiday lets.
