[ukpowertool]

We want to start by introducing you to the term COSHH.

What does COSHH mean? It is the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, we recommend visiting these links for more information related to your industry. In the UK you can refer to the Health and Safety Executive for more information regarding the UK laws and regulations related to COSHH.

There are different classes of hazardous materials, please see them listed below

Class 1 Explosives Class 2 Gases Class 3 FlammableLiquids Class 4 Flammable Solids or Substances

To make this clearer, the categories listed above would cover substances such as Acids, Caustic Substances, Disinfectants, Mercury, Pesticides, Paint, Petroleum products and many more, the list is very long and we do not want to bore you with it.

To storage hazardous substances is part of the COSHH protocol and it is very important to do it correctly with the correct storage tools.

Some Key Points to Store Chemicals:

Restrict Access

Storage with sufficient space

Impervious Flooring

Eliminate ignition sources

At UK Power Tool we specialize in selling Secure COSHH storages to handle on site controlled substances which require compliance with the United Kingdom regulator HSE

COSHH cabinets are normally used to safely store flammable materials and bottles. At the same time, using storages for controlled substances mitigates the risk of workers being exposed to harmful material and substances.

See some examples of COSHH storages that  we recommend to have on site for controlling hazardous substances and materials.

Speaking as a chemistry student here; Love how no version of Jonathan has ventilation or extraction in his lab

This is of course because he is a psyche major, and doesn't know how to look after himself.

Using An Assessment Matrix With Your Business How To Use It

An assessment matrix is a tool that can be used by a project manager to easily determine the level of risk associated with a project as a whole. With this matrix, you will be able to quickly identify which projects are in need of more attention, which ones are going well, and how much your overall risk exposure is for each project as a whole. The purpose of this article is to show you how to use a risk matrix in your business so that you are able to make better decisions about what projects to pursue next and what to avoid.

What is a risk assessment matrix, and what is its purpose?

An assessment matrix is a way of organizing risk in a way that is easy to understand. The idea is also to prioritize the issues as well as determine what needs to be done in order to resolve them. The purpose of a risk assessment matrix is to help identify the risks in your project, so that you can plan accordingly and mitigate them as much as possible.

Using a matrix of risk assessment, what can I do with it?

In order to be able to identify and prioritise the risks within your business, it is critical that you use a hazard risk assessment matrix. In addition, you can use it to assess them, take actions to mitigate them, and measure your progress over time as a result of them.

Identifying risks for new projects and determining whether they are acceptable

In assessing the risks that may arise for new projects, it's important that you take the following into consideration

The identification of the risks is the first step

It would be advisable to write down all of these potential problems if that is the case.

Determine how likely each risk is by assessing the likelihood. It is best to assign numbers to each risk based on a scale from 1-10, where 1 represents low probability and impact, and 10 represents high probability and impact. Note that there is no right or wrong answer when assigning numbers here.

An example of a matrix for risk assessment

The purpose of a risk assessment matrix is to identify and evaluate the risks associated with a project. If used as part of the overall risk management process, or alone as a stand-alone tool, it can provide a multitude of benefits. Using engineering risk assessment matrix will help you to identify, prioritize and control your risks based on their likelihood of occurrence, impact and controllability. By using the risk matrix, you will be able to determine where your time and energy should be spent. As a result, you can identify the areas in your business where you are exposed to the greatest risk as well as those areas that offer the best chance for success.
