What COSHH covers
COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) is about the chemicals you use, mostly cleaning products and sanitisers. Paddl keeps a digital register so the safety information is to hand for staff and for an inspection.
Adding a chemical
Go to COSHH
Click Add Item
Enter the product name, manufacturer, and hazard information
Upload the safety data sheet (SDS)
Add how and where it is used at each location
What to capture for each product
A good COSHH entry records the GHS hazard pictograms and signal word, the PPE needed (eye, hand, respiratory, body), first aid measures for skin, eyes, inhalation, and ingestion, plus safe handling, storage, spillage, and disposal. If you upload the SDS, Paddl can help pull these details out so you are not retyping the sheet.
