Photograph a product label and AI identifies the substance, decodes its GHS/CLP classifications, and drafts the hazards, control measures, PPE and first aid. Version-controlled, review-reminded, and acknowledged by the staff who actually handle it. COSHH Regulations 2002 aligned.
Each one costs UK operators hours, ratings, insurance excess or worse. Each one disappears when the coshh assessment becomes digital.
Cost:Half the substances in the store have no current assessment - and the one the EHO asks about is always one of them.
Fixed:Photograph the product label. AI identifies the substance and manufacturer and drafts the assessment - hazards, classifications, controls, PPE, first aid, storage and disposal - for you to review and refine in minutes, not hours.
Cost:The assessment ends up generic, copied from another product, or simply wrong about what the substance actually does.
Fixed:AI reads the label, extracts the GHS/CLP classifications, hazard type and routes of exposure, and finds the substance's Safety Data Sheet - so the assessment reflects the real chemical, not a guess.
Cost:When something goes wrong, "we had a COSHH assessment" is no defence if the people using the chemical had never seen it.
Fixed:Link the COSHH assessment to a Document Acknowledgement check. The staff and groups who handle it confirm read-and-understood, recorded with a timestamp - the briefing is evidenced, not assumed.
Cost:An out-of-date COSHH assessment after an incident shows the risk was known and the review was missed - worse than having none.
Fixed:Every assessment carries a review date and frequency. Review-reminder emails go out automatically, and overdue assessments surface on the dashboard and in the AI Health & Safety Manager's daily brief.
Cost:Months later the version in force on the day is gone, overwritten by the one updated after the event - and the audit trail is a guess.
Fixed:Every edit is snapshotted as a version, with side-by-side compare and one-click restore, plus a record of who viewed the assessment and when. Exactly what was in force, on the day it mattered.
Cost:There's no inventory, no map of the chemical store, and no clear picture of who works with what - until an inspector asks.
Fixed:Assessments are scoped to storage and process zones and assigned to the staff groups exposed, with dashboard analytics by classification, hazard type, route of exposure, zone and group. The chemical inventory is a screen, not a clipboard.
Cost:COSHH is the compliance task that's always behind, because doing it properly doesn't scale with the size of the chemical store.
Fixed:Snap, AI drafts, you refine. The competent person's expertise is spent reviewing and tailoring an accurate draft, not transcribing a Safety Data Sheet by hand.
Cost:The information that prevents an injury is in the one place the person mixing the chemical isn't.
Fixed:A branded, fully-detailed PDF for inspectors and the wall, plus the same controls turned into a staff-acknowledged document through Checklists - so the assessment reaches the point of use.
Photograph a label and AI drafts the assessment from the substance it identifies - classifications, hazards, routes of exposure, control measures, PPE, first aid, storage and disposal. Version every change, get review reminders, scope it to the zones and groups exposed, and have the staff who handle it acknowledge they've read it. Built around the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 - adequate control, evidenced.

Photograph the product label and AI identifies the substance, official name, manufacturer and supplier, then drafts the assessment: GHS/CLP classifications, hazard type, routes of exposure, control measures, PPE, first aid by route, storage, disposal, spillage and fire-fighting measures. It returns a confidence score, and where it's confident it goes a step further and finds the substance's Safety Data Sheet. The blank-form blocker that keeps half the chemical store unassessed disappears.
When the substance is identified confidently, the platform searches for and links its Safety Data Sheet so the source document sits with the assessment - no hunting the manufacturer's website for the current version, no decoding sixteen sections by hand to start the assessment.
Not everything has a readable label. Create an assessment manually with full control over every field, or duplicate an existing one - all classifications, hazard types, routes of exposure, zones, areas and attachments copied, the review date recalculated - when a new product is a close cousin of one you've already done.
Attach the Safety Data Sheet PDF, manufacturer documents, photos and supporting files to the assessment - including the label photo the AI analysed. The evidence behind the assessment lives with the assessment, not in a separate shared drive.
Each assessment captures the CLP/GHS classifications, the physical hazard type - gas, vapour, mist, fume, dust, liquid or solid - and the routes of exposure: inhalation, skin, eyes, ingestion, injection. The structure that makes a COSHH assessment meaningful is built in, decoded from the label rather than left to a free-text box.
COSHH is about adequate control, and every control field is there for it: control measures, PPE, health surveillance, workplace exposure limits, first aid by route, spillage procedure, fire and emergency measures, storage requirements and disposal. The assessment records how exposure is actually prevented or controlled - the heart of what the Regulations require.
A substance is stored in one place and used in another, so assessments are scoped to both - storage zones and areas and process zones and areas - separately. You can answer "what's in this store?" and "what's used in this kitchen?" because the system models the difference.
Assign each assessment to the staff groups actually exposed - kitchen team, cleaners, maintenance - so the right people are connected to the right substances, and the dashboard can show exposure by group across the estate.
Every assessment carries a review date and a review frequency. Review-reminder emails go out automatically as the date approaches, and overdue and due-soon assessments surface on the COSHH dashboard - so a lapsed review is visible while it can still be fixed, not discovered by an inspector.
Stats and charts for the whole chemical estate: counts due for review, assessments by classification, by hazard type, by route of exposure, by storage and process zone and by group, recent activity, and alerts for assessments missing a zone or a group. The operational COSHH picture on one screen, not a folder audit.
Link a COSHH assessment to a Document Acknowledgement check in the Checklists module. The staff and groups who handle the substance confirm they have read and understood it, and the acknowledgement is recorded against the check with a timestamp - so "we had a COSHH assessment" becomes "these named people confirmed they had read it, on these dates".
The AI Health & Safety Manager reads the COSHH module and reports overdue and due-soon assessments in the leadership daily brief in plain English, escalating by how far overdue they are, with a deep link straight to them. Overdue COSHH becomes something leadership is told about, not something someone has to remember to check.
A COSHH widget on the main dashboard puts total assessments, the count due for review and the most overdue in front of the responsible managers every time they log in - alongside Checklists, Risk Assessments and the rest, scoped to the same zones, groups and roles.
COSHH isn't a standalone chemical register. It shares the same zones, areas, groups and roles as Risk Assessments and Checklists, feeds the same AI Health & Safety Manager brief, and reaches staff through the same acknowledgement mechanism - one platform, one safety picture, not a chemical spreadsheet off to the side.
Every edit is snapshotted as a version. Compare any version side by side with the current one, and restore a previous version in one click (the current state is auto-saved first). When an exposure is investigated months later, the version in force on the day is still there, exactly as it was.
The platform records who viewed an assessment and when, alongside created-by and updated-by. Accountability for who had sight of the controls is evidenced, not assumed.
Export any assessment as a branded PDF - every classification, hazard, route of exposure, control measure, PPE requirement, first-aid and emergency procedure, generated server-side with headers carrying the assessment name, version and reference - ready to hand to an HSE or EHO inspector, an insurer, or to print and post by the substance.
