COSHH Assessment for Mobile Caterers and Private Chefs - Completed for Your Business

The catering industry is specifically identified by the HSE as a high-risk sector for occupational contact dermatitis. The primary causes are frequent wet work - regular hand washing and food preparation in water - and repeated skin contact with cleaning chemicals and sanitisers throughout the working day. Both of these exposure routes need to be addressed in the COSHH assessment. || The cleaning chemicals used in catering - food-safe sanitisers, heavy-duty degreasers, oven cleaners, and dishwasher chemicals - contain active substances that present skin and inhalation hazards with regular occupational use. The assessment needs to cover every cleaning product in the catering kit. || CompliantDocs generates your COSHH assessment from the specific cleaning products you tell us you use in your mobile catering or chef work.

The HSE specifically identifies wet work as the primary cause of dermatitis in catering. A proper catering COSHH assessment addresses both wet work exposure and cleaning chemical exposure. Most mobile caterers have no COSHH documentation at all. CompliantDocs generates documentation that covers both elements.
