The COSHH Risk Assessment is a mandatory document required under Belgian workplace safety regulations for any operation involving hazardous substances. While 'COSHH' originates from UK terminology, this assessment follows Belgian legal requirements including the Code on Well-being at Work and relevant EU regulations (REACH, CLP). It must be completed before any work with hazardous substances begins and updated regularly or when significant changes occur. The assessment covers substance identification, hazard evaluation, exposure assessment, control measures, and emergency procedures. It serves multiple purposes: ensuring legal compliance, protecting worker health and safety, documenting risk management procedures, and providing a reference for training and emergency response. This document is particularly critical in Belgium due to the country's significant chemical industry presence and strict workplace safety standards.
