COSHH Assessment Template
A free COSHH assessment template (Word and PDF) for documenting the hazardous substances used in a commercial kitchen, from cleaning chemicals and sanitisers to descalers and pest control products. Includes a worked example and a chemical inventory register.
A COSHH assessment identifies the hazardous substances in your workplace and the controls that keep staff safe from them. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002, every UK employer must carry one out and keep it on record. For a commercial kitchen that means every cleaning chemical, sanitiser, oven cleaner and descaler. This free COSHH assessment template gives you a structured form to work through one substance at a time, plus an inventory register to track which products still need assessing.
