Ultracolor Plus Wall & Floor Grout is commonly used as a high-performance, fast-setting and drying grout for internal and external tiled surfaces. It is designed for joints up to 20mm wide and is often selected for wet rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, floors, walls and tiled areas where a flexible, water-repellent and mould-resistant grout is required. Because the product is handled as a powder, mixed with water and applied as a wet grout, it should be assessed under COSHH against the actual way it is prepared, used and cleaned down on site.
This Ultracolor Plus Wall & Floor Grout COSHH assessment template helps employers and responsible persons record key product details, intended use, mixing method, application process, storage arrangements, dust controls, exposure controls, first aid information, spill response, emergency procedures, disposal arrangements, PPE requirements, user instructions and review dates. It provides a practical starting point for workplaces needing a wall and floor grout COSHH assessment, tile grout COSHH template, Ultracolor Plus COSHH document or free health and safety document template for tiling and construction products used at work.
Employers have a legal responsibility to assess substances used during work activities and make sure employees, contractors, trainees, building users and others are not exposed to unnecessary health risks. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, employers must identify hazardous substances, assess how exposure could occur, prevent or adequately control exposure where required, and provide suitable information, instruction and training. These duties sit alongside the wider requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
For products such as Ultracolor Plus Wall & Floor Grout, the COSHH assessment should reflect the actual tiling task being carried out, including opening bags, measuring and mixing powder, adding water, controlling airborne dust, applying grout with floats or tools, cleaning excess grout from tiles, washing equipment, allowing curing time and disposing of waste grout or contaminated materials. The assessment should also consider skin and eye contact with wet grout, dust exposure during mixing, housekeeping around powder spills and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet.
A clear Ultracolor Plus Wall & Floor Grout COSHH assessment helps demonstrate that grout powders, wet grout work and tiling materials have been properly considered as part of your workplace health and safety arrangements. This is particularly useful for tilers, flooring contractors, bathroom fitters, kitchen installers, maintenance operatives, site supervisors, school caretakers, housing maintenance teams and duty holders responsible for construction product storage, contractor control, refurbishment work, staff training and safety documentation.
The document can be customised with your company details, site location, product brand, storage area, task description, mixing method, application area, tile type, joint width, ventilation or dust control 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, tiling teams, maintenance staff, supervisors, site managers 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, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, UK CLP requirements, UK REACH duties where applicable, HSE COSHH guidance, HSE construction dust guidance and the requirement to use the manufacturer’s safety data sheet when completing a suitable and sufficient assessment.
