Why cat groomers need a COSHH assessment
The grooming products formulated specifically for cats often contain different active ingredients to dog grooming products, reflecting the sensitivity of cats to certain compounds. Many feline grooming shampoos and treatments contain tea tree oil, essential oils, and chemical preservatives at concentrations that present occupational exposure risks with regular professional use. || For a cat groomer, chemical exposure occurs throughout the working day - handling products during application, skin contact during bathing, inhalation of spray products, and contact with coats saturated with grooming treatments. Repeated exposure to some of the fragrances and preservatives common in grooming products is a known cause of occupational contact dermatitis. || COSHH regulations require you to assess and document these risks regardless of the size of your business.
The real problem
Cat grooming product COSHH assessments are rarely specific enough to feline products
Generic grooming COSHH templates often do not distinguish between dog and cat products, and many of the specific formulation differences that are relevant to a cat groomer's COSHH assessment are not addressed. CompliantDocs generates your assessment based on the specific products you tell us you use for cat grooming.
