COSHH / Chemical Control Inspection

Control hazardous substances with our COSHH / Chemical Control Inspection. Designed for HSE officers, stores staff, and supervisors, this template provides a structured way to check inventory, storage, and exposure controls.

Poor labelling, missing SDS, or inadequate spill kits quickly become incidents. This checklist covers inventory, storage, and exposure controls so gaps are found early.
