Employers have a legal responsibility to assess substances used during work activities and make sure employees, cleaners, contractors, visitors and others are not exposed to unnecessary health, safety or environmental risks. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, substances used at work must be identified, assessed and controlled where required. Aerosol products should also be managed carefully because pressurised containers can burst if heated and may require additional controls for storage, heat exposure, ignition sources and disposal.
For products such as Cif Professional Wood Furniture Polish, the COSHH assessment should reflect the actual polishing task being carried out, including shaking the container before use, spraying lightly onto a soft clean cloth or suitable surface, polishing sealed wood furniture, avoiding excessive spray mist and ensuring the area is reasonably ventilated. The assessment should also consider avoiding eye contact, reducing direct inhalation of spray, washing hands after use, keeping the aerosol away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, flames and direct sunlight, and not piercing or burning the container even when empty.
The assessment should make clear that Cif Professional Wood Furniture Polish should only be used on suitable sealed wood surfaces and should not be used on floors, as polish residues may create a slip risk. Controls should also cover wiping overspray from nearby surfaces, preventing build-up on walkways, keeping the product away from children and unauthorised users, storing aerosols upright in a cool cleaning cupboard, and checking the product label and manufacturer’s safety data sheet before use.
A clear Cif Professional Wood Furniture Polish Aerosol COSHH assessment helps demonstrate that aerosol furniture polish, sealed wood surface cleaning, spray mist exposure, pressurised container storage, slip risks, fragrance sensitivity, allergen information and staff instructions have been properly considered as part of workplace health and safety management. This is particularly useful for cleaning supervisors, facilities teams, office managers, school site teams, hospitality teams, care home staff, retail supervisors and duty holders responsible for cleaning stores, reception areas, meeting rooms and contractor safety documentation.
The document can be customised with your company details, site location, product brand, furniture type, surface type, cleaning area, frequency of use, quantity stored, authorised users, responsible person, ventilation arrangements, aerosol storage controls, slip prevention measures, PPE requirements where needed and review date. Once completed, the assessment can be downloaded as a PDF, stored in your compliance records or shared with cleaners, employees, facilities teams, contractors, supervisors and health and safety representatives.
