COSHH & policies
A COSHH register that's current, and policies people have read.
The COSHH and policies module in Assured Contractors keeps a register of hazardous substances with their safety data sheets and COSHH assessments, exportable as a PDF, and lets you write or upload health and safety policies, publish versions and see who has read each one.
Substances carry their hazard pictograms, storage location, PPE and first aid information. Policies are built step by step or uploaded, published as versions, and chased with reminders until everyone has confirmed they've read them.

How it works
How does it work, step by step?
Add substances

Assess and approve
Write the COSHH assessment and send it for approval.
Write or upload policies

Publish and track
Publish the policy, see read receipts and remind anyone who hasn't read it.
What is a COSHH register?
A list of the hazardous substances used on your sites, with their safety data sheets and the COSHH assessments that set out how exposure is controlled. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 require employers to assess and control exposure; a register is the usual way to keep track.
Who is asked to read a policy?
Everyone with an active role in your Assured Contractors workspace. Once a policy is published, each person confirms they've read it.
Who sees the read receipts?
Administrators see who in the workspace has read each published version and who hasn't, and can send a reminder to those outstanding.
Does publishing a new version reset the read receipts?
Yes. Read receipts count for the version in force, so when you publish a new version everyone who read the old one is asked to read it again.
Can the COSHH register be exported?
Yes, as a PDF register for the site office or an audit.
