COSHH Assessment — Epoxy Resin (Bisphenol A Diglycidyl Ether / BADGE)
This pre-completed COSHH assessment covers epoxy resin based on bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) — used across electronics, aerospace, marine and construction for adhesives, coatings and encapsulation. The hazard profile applies to the uncured resin; cured epoxy is inert.
What Does This COSHH Assessment Cover?
The assessment is fully completed and ready to use, covering all sections required for a complete hazardous substance risk assessment:
- Substance identification — trade name, chemical name (BADGE-based resin with amine hardener), SDS reference and physical state
- Health effects and first aid — inhalation, ingestion, skin contact and eye contact, with specific first aid for each route
- Skin sensitisation hazard — uncured epoxy resin is a skin sensitiser; repeated contact can cause permanent allergic contact dermatitis
- Workplace exposure limits — no specific WEL for BADGE resin; amine hardener limits noted; guidance on managing the exothermic curing reaction
- CLP hazard classification — Irritant and Environmental hazard pictograms
- PPE requirements — including nitrile gloves, safety goggles and face shield for large-quantity mixing
- Emergency procedures — spillage response and fire precautions specific to uncured resin
Who Is This COSHH Assessment For?
This assessment is suitable for any workplace where epoxy resin is used, including:
- Electronics manufacturing and PCB encapsulation
- Aerospace and automotive composite manufacturing
- Marine hull repair and fibreglass lamination
- Construction and civil engineering — epoxy coatings and adhesives
- Workshop and fabrication environments using two-part epoxy
COSHH Compliance
