COSHH is the law that employers are required to control the substances hazardous to health. The law has been followed since 2002. You can keep workers safe by doing a number of things including risk assessments, identifying hazardous products and controlling exposure to them. Planning for emergencies and keeping a health record of employees this might include annual checks. Training is also very important as if workers are taught how to be safe they will be much more aware of hazards. COSHH applies to everyone even if you are self employed without any employees the law still applies apart from health surveillance. ANGUS ROWE

Hazardous substances can cause ill health and disease; this is costly to industry:

·         replacing trained staff

·         society; disability allowances and medicines

·         individuals who may lose their jobs

The employer is responsible for controlling hazardous substances.

Find the potentially dangerous substances in your business – ask suppliers; trade associations. Check your industry on HSE website www.hse.gov.uk

COSHH – risk assessment checklist:

·         Do the products have danger labels?

·         Does the process produce gas, fume, dust, mist or vapour?

·         Is the substance harmful to breathe in?

·         Can the substance irritate skin?

·         Can harm be caused by how the way you use or produce it?

What are you going to do about it?

·         Use something else?

·         Use it in another safer way?

·         Control it to stop harm being caused?

Forged steel is not in itself hazardous to health, however, burning, welding, sawing, shot blasting and machining may generate dust particles and fumes, that if allowed, may accumulate in excess of the recommended permissible exposure level and may present a hazard.

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 (as

amended) which apply to the way you work with these substances.

As the employer you are required to control any hazard exposure and protect health for your employees.

Hazardous substances within the forge:

·         Dust from the coke could cause long time effect for example lung disease.

·         When working with zinc coated rivets if they get heated they give off a vapour this could be poisonous.

·         Dust from coke could also go into your eyes if you was to rub your eyes with your hands without washing them first.
