Risk
Substance register
What is on site, and where it is stored.
On the file
What is on site, where it is stored, and the safety data sheet.
Duty
COSHH 2002
Where it is used
On site, when the substance arrives.
What it does
- The inventory of substances, with the safety data sheet attached.
- Location, quantity, and who holds it.
- A new substance does not sit in a van until it is on the register.
On the file
- The substance
- The quantity
- Where it is stored
- Who holds it
- The safety data sheet
- The day it arrived
Why digital
Against a paper file, a spreadsheet, or a folder in the cabin.
- The inventory is the one the site is using, not a list from mobilisation.
- Searchable. You are not flicking through a folder when someone asks.
The duty
UK law. We name it. We do not invent a badge.
COSHH 2002
You cannot control a substance you have not listed.
Who uses it
Whoever receives it adds it. The COSHH assessment uses the same list.
Sits with
The inventory the COSHH assessment starts from.
What good looks like
The list matches what is on site, including what is still in the van.
