Download a free Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner Aerosol COSHH assessment for documenting the safe use, handling, storage and disposal of Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner in the workplace. This editable COSHH assessment template is designed for offices, schools, hospitality venues, retail premises, care settings, reception areas, commercial buildings, cleaning teams, facilities managers and workplace environments where Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner aerosol is used for routine dusting, cleaning and surface care.
Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner Aerosol is commonly used to remove dust, fingerprints, smears and everyday marks from suitable finished and sealed surfaces. It may be used on desks, counters, furniture, shelves, fixtures, glass, mirrors, stainless steel and other compatible hard surfaces, depending on the product label. Because it is supplied as a pressurised aerosol and may create spray mist or vapour during use, it should be assessed under COSHH and, where flammable propellants or vapours are present, considered under DSEAR.
This Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner Aerosol COSHH assessment template helps employers and responsible persons record key product details, intended use, surface compatibility, application method, storage arrangements, exposure controls, ventilation requirements, fire precautions, first aid information, accidental release response, environmental precautions, waste disposal, PPE requirements where needed, user instructions and review dates. It provides a practical starting point for workplaces needing a Pledge COSHH assessment, multi-surface cleaner COSHH template, aerosol cleaner safety document, surface spray COSHH assessment or free health and safety document template for workplace cleaning products.
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 and safety risks. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, substances used at work must be identified, assessed and controlled where required. Where aerosol cleaners contain flammable propellants or release vapours that could ignite, employers should also consider the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002, which require fire and explosion risks from dangerous substances to be assessed and reduced so far as reasonably practicable.
For products such as Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner Aerosol, the COSHH assessment should reflect the actual cleaning task being carried out, including spraying onto cloths or surfaces, wiping finished sealed surfaces, avoiding excessive spray mist, using the product in well-ventilated areas, preventing eye contact and checking surface suitability before use. The assessment should also consider keeping aerosols away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, flames and ignition sources, protecting cans from sunlight, not piercing or burning containers even after use, avoiding use on unsuitable or unsealed surfaces, and following the product label and manufacturer’s safety data sheet.
A clear Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner Aerosol COSHH assessment helps demonstrate that aerosol cleaning products, spray mist, surface compatibility, flammable aerosol storage, ventilation and staff instructions have been properly considered as part of workplace health and safety management. This is particularly useful for cleaning supervisors, office managers, facilities teams, school site staff, hospitality teams, retail supervisors and duty holders responsible for cleaning stores, hygiene standards, aerosol controls and contractor safety documentation.
The document can be customised with your company details, site location, product brand, cleaning area, surface type, frequency of use, storage area, quantity stored, authorised users, responsible person, ignition-source controls, 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.
Relevant compliance includes the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 where flammable aerosols or vapours are present, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, Environmental Protection Act 1990, UK CLP requirements, UK REACH duties where applicable, HSE COSHH guidance, HSE DSEAR guidance and the requirement to use the product label and manufacturer’s safety data sheet when completing a suitable and sufficient assessment.
