This category includes various completed example documents and are intended to assist with completing these assessments within your organisation.
Example COSHH Assessment Templates
These example COSHH assessment templates provide practical insight into the hazards, risks and control measures commonly associated with a wide range of hazardous chemicals and substances in the workplace.
The example COSHH assessments help organisations understand how to identify chemical hazards, evaluate exposure risks, and document appropriate control measures in line with COSHH regulations and health and safety best practice.
They are ideal for supporting:
- The development of workplace COSHH risk assessments
- Training and awareness for staff involved in handling hazardous substances
- Review or improvement of existing COSHH documentation
- Compliance with health and safety management system requirements, including ISO 45001
These COSHH assessment examples are intended as guidance only and can be adapted to suit your specific chemicals, activities and workplace conditions.
Example Risk Assessment Templates
These example risk assessment templates provide ready-made risk assessment examples covering a broad range of workplace activities, hazards and control measures.
Each individual risk assessment template focuses on a specific topic and includes clearly documented inherent risks, residual risks, and detailed control measures to demonstrate how risks can be effectively identified, evaluated and reduced.
The templates are designed to support organisations in developing compliant, practical health and safety risk assessments, making them ideal for:
- Creating or improving workplace risk assessments
- Training staff in risk identification and control
- Supporting health and safety management systems, including ISO 45001
- Demonstrating a structured approach to risk management
All example risk assessment templates have been developed and reviewed by a qualified health and safety professional, providing confidence that the content reflects current best practice and regulatory expectations.
