Employers have a legal responsibility to assess substances used during work activities and make sure employees, contractors, visitors and others are protected from unnecessary risk. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, substances used at work should be assessed where they may affect health, and exposure should be prevented or adequately controlled where required. These duties sit alongside wider workplace health and safety responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
For products such as STYCCOBOND F44, the assessment should reflect the actual workplace activity, including applying adhesive, avoiding unnecessary skin contact, controlling splashes, maintaining good hygiene, washing hands after use, keeping containers closed when not in use, storing the product within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range and preventing release to drains, surface water or ground water. The assessment should also consider safe clean-up of spills using sand or inert absorbent, disposal through appropriate waste routes and following the manufacturer’s safety data sheet.
A clear STYCCOBOND F44 COSHH assessment helps demonstrate that adhesive handling, storage conditions, spill controls, environmental precautions, PPE, occupational hygiene and waste disposal have been properly considered as part of workplace health and safety arrangements. This is particularly useful for flooring installers, site supervisors, facilities managers, school caretakers, maintenance operatives, contractors, building managers and duty holders responsible for adhesive use, product storage, staff training and safety documentation.
The document can be customised with your company details, site location, product supplier, storage area, quantity stored, task description, application method, ventilation arrangements, responsible person, PPE requirements, control measures and review date. Once completed, the assessment can be downloaded as a PDF, stored in your compliance records or shared with employees, contractors, flooring teams, maintenance staff, supervisors and health and safety representatives.
Relevant compliance includes the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, UK CLP requirements, UK REACH duties where applicable, HSE COSHH guidance and the requirement to use the manufacturer’s safety data sheet when completing a suitable and sufficient assessment.
