This paper describes one approach to practical COSHH assessment developed for the (Scottish) Health Service. For completeness, the COSHH Regulations and corresponding Approved Code of Practice are reviewed from the point of view of undertaking a practical assessment of risk in hospitals. An assessment pro-forma developed for a Scottish Health Board is outlined. A hospital COSHH case study is briefly described. The training of health service COSHH assessors is considered. Finally, the need for a management approach to health and safety based on development and implementation of a suitable safety management system is proposed.
