COSHH assessment template

Download the free blank template

Our blank COSHH assessment template is a fillable, printable PDF with the same 12 sections as our completed assessments. It's free, there's no sign-up, and you can use it as often as you like.

Doing a whole chemical cupboard? Upload every SDS at once

With bulk SDS upload (easycoshh.co.uk/bulk/) you select all your Safety Data Sheet PDFs together, up to 50 at a time. We read each one and prepare a draft COSHH assessment per product, so you can set up your whole COSHH file in minutes. You check and finalise each draft; nothing is charged until you do.

Or get it filled in for you

Filling in a blank template means reading the whole Safety Data Sheet and turning it into plain controls. EasyCOSHH does that part: upload the SDS (or type the product name and label hazards), answer a few questions about how the product is used, and you get a completed draft to check, adapt and sign.

• Product and supplier details, taken from the Safety Data Sheet
• Hazard classification: signal word, GHS pictograms and H-statements (GB CLP)
• Routes of exposure and workplace exposure limits (EH40) where the SDS gives them
• Who could be exposed, including vulnerable groups
• A risk rating before and after controls, using HSE's COSHH essentials banding
• Control measures in hierarchy order, PPE, storage, spillage, first aid and disposal
• Health surveillance and monitoring where relevant, emergency information, a review date and a sign-off box

What a good COSHH assessment covers

• Regulation 6 of the COSHH Regulations 2002 requires a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risk to health.
• It should reflect how the product is actually used in your workplace, not just repeat the SDS.
• If you have five or more employees you must record the significant findings.
• Review it regularly, and straight away if the product, the task or the people change.
