COSHH Assessment for Commercial Cleaners - Completed for Your Business

The chemical products used in commercial cleaning are typically significantly more concentrated and hazardous than domestic cleaning products. Industrial-strength degreasers containing solvents, concentrated alkaline or acidic descalers, biocidal disinfectants, and specialist floor treatments all present serious skin, respiratory, and eye exposure risks with regular professional use. || A COSHH assessment for a commercial cleaner needs to address each of these products in detail - their chemical composition, the concentration used, the routes of exposure during the work, and the controls in place to manage that exposure. This is a more involved exercise than COSHH for domestic cleaning products, and the consequences of inadequate controls are more serious. || Commercial cleaners are also more likely to mix products during their work, and the risks of chemical reactions between incompatible cleaning agents need to be addressed in the assessment.

The gap between the hazard level of industrial cleaning chemicals and the quality of COSHH documentation in self-employed commercial cleaning is significant. Many commercial cleaners either have no COSHH assessment or have documentation produced for domestic cleaning products that does not address the concentrated industrial substances they actually use. || CompliantDocs generates your COSHH assessment from the specific products you tell us you use for commercial cleaning, producing documentation that matches the actual hazard level of your work.
