The tricky part is not usually knowing that a product exists — it is recording how it is used, who could be exposed, what controls are in place, and whether any action is needed. This guide walks through a simple cleaning-products example and shows how a structured COSHH Assessment Pack can help you turn a loose list of products into a practical workplace record. The problem with a normal “cleaning cupboard list” Many small businesses have some kind of list of products, or they keep the bottles in one place and assume that is enough. But a COSHH record needs to do more than name the product. A product list might say: Bleach Glass cleaner Floor cleaner Limescale remover Oven cleaner That list is a start, but it does not explain the actual risk. For example, glass cleaner used occasionally on a shop window is very different from oven cleaner sprayed in a small kitchen area. A COSHH assessment needs to look at the product, the task, the exposure, the controls and any action needed. HSE guidance explains that a COSHH assessment should consider harmful substances, how workers could be exposed, how often and for how long, existing controls, further action, who needs to do that action and when. You can read the HSE overview here: HSE COSHH risk assessment guidance . What a useful COSHH product register should include A useful COSHH register should help someone understand the actual workplace use of each product. That means recording the product name, but also the task, exposure routes, current controls and PPE. Register item Why it matters Example Product or substance Identifies what is being assessed. Acidic limescale remover \u002F descaler How it is used The same product can have different risk depending on the task. Sprayed onto taps and shower screens, then wiped off Who could be exposed Shows who needs protecting or briefing. Cleaner, staff nearby, customers if area is not restricted How exposure could happen Helps decide suitable controls. Skin contact, eye contact, breathing in spray mist Current controls Records how exposure is prevented or reduced. Use small amounts, ventilate area, do not mix with other cleaners PPE Records what protective equipment is needed. Gloves and eye protection Risk rating Helps show whether the product is controlled or needs action. Medium before controls, Low after controls The Easy Compliance Tools COSHH Assessment Pack is built around this structure. Instead of starting with a blank document, you add each product to a guided register and work through the important sections step by step. Example: adding a limescale remover to your COSHH pack Here is how one common cleaning product might be entered into a COSHH register. Example product: Acidic limescale remover \u002F descaler Use\u002Ftask Used weekly to remove limescale from taps, sinks and shower screens. Form used Liquid \u002F mist if sprayed. How it is used Sprayed or wiped onto surfaces, left briefly, then rinsed or wiped away. Who could be exposed Cleaner, nearby staff, customers if the area is not kept clear. How exposure could happen Skin contact, eye contact, breathing in spray mist. Controls Use small amounts, keep product in original labelled container, avoid mixing with bleach or other cleaners, ventilate the area, clean spills quickly, wash hands after use. PPE Gloves and eye protection where splashing is possible. Possible action Brief staff not to mix descaler with bleach and to keep the area clear while cleaning. In our COSHH tool, you can start this faster by choosing the generic “Acidic limescale remover \u002F descaler” preset. The preset adds suggested starter content, such as likely exposure routes, common controls and PPE prompts. You still review and edit it for your actual product and how it is used in your workplace. Why the preset is useful It stops the user staring at a blank form. Instead, the tool gives a sensible starting point and asks them to check it against the real product label, Safety Data Sheet where available, and actual workplace use. Example: why “oven cleaner” should not be treated like “glass cleaner” One of the most useful parts of a COSHH register is that it separates products by actual risk. A mild glass cleaner and a stronger oven cleaner may both sit in the same cupboard, but they should not be assessed as if they are the same. Product Typical use Likely COSHH focus Possible outcome Glass cleaner Sprayed onto windows and wiped away Small amounts, spray mist, skin\u002Feye contact, ventilation May be low risk after basic controls Oven cleaner \u002F degreaser Applied to greasy cooking surfaces Stronger product, skin\u002Feye contact, spray mist, ventilation, restricted access May need clearer PPE and staff instructions The risk rating in the COSHH Assessment Pack helps with this. For each product, the tool records: Risk before controls — the likely risk before control measures are applied. Risk after controls — the remaining risk once controls and PPE are followed. Action required — where extra controls, training, PPE or review are needed. That means your final PDF does not just list products. It shows which products are controlled and which ones need attention. Do you need a Safety Data Sheet for every cleaning product? A Safety Data Sheet, often called an SDS, is useful because it gives manufacturer or supplier safety information. If you have one, use it when completing the COSHH assessment. But an SDS is not the same as a workplace COSHH assessment. HSE explains that a safety data sheet does not substitute for carrying out and recording a COSHH risk assessment because it is not specific to your workplace. It cannot know how often you use the product, whether it is sprayed, who could be nearby, what ventilation exists or what controls are followed. See: HSE COSHH frequently asked questions . Practical approach Use the product label or SDS where available, then complete the workplace-specific parts: how it is used, who could be exposed, controls, PPE, first aid, spill response and action required. In the Easy Compliance Tools journey, SDS details are helpful but not treated as the whole assessment. The tool asks where the safety information came from, then guides you through the workplace-specific questions. A simple cleaning cupboard COSHH register example For a small shop, salon, café or office, a first COSHH register might include: Product \u002F substance Suggested preset in the COSHH tool Specific point to check Bleach or disinfectant Bleach \u002F disinfectant Do not mix with other cleaning products. Check ventilation and staff instructions. Descaler Acidic limescale remover \u002F descaler Check skin\u002Feye contact risk and whether eye protection is needed. Glass cleaner Glass cleaner Check whether it is sprayed, how often, and whether customers could be nearby. Floor cleaner Floor cleaner Check dilution, slips\u002Fspills, storage and hand protection. Oven cleaner \u002F degreaser Oven cleaner \u002F degreaser Check strength, ventilation, restricted access and PPE. With the online COSHH Assessment Pack, you can add all of these products into one register, rather than creating separate documents one by one. The final PDF includes the register, individual product assessments, risk ratings, actions, review date and sign-off page. What makes a COSHH record useful to staff? A good COSHH record should not sit unread in a folder. It should help staff understand what to do. For cleaning products, that usually means making the controls obvious: Which products must not be mixed. When gloves or eye protection are needed. Whether the area should be ventilated. What to do after a spill. Where products should be stored. Who is responsible for any action. The COSHH Assessment Pack includes a staff briefing and sign-off section so the record can be used as part of a practical workplace process, not just downloaded and forgotten. When should you review the register? The tool gives a suggested review date, normally 12 months from the assessment date. You should also review sooner if something changes, such as: a new cleaning product is introduced a product is used in a different way a stronger chemical replaces a milder one staff report irritation, breathing issues or other concerns controls or PPE change there is a spill, near miss or accident HSE guidance says assessments should be reviewed regularly and updated where workplace changes may create new risks. The review date in your COSHH pack helps make that visible. Create your COSHH product register online Easy Compliance Tools lets you build a COSHH Assessment Pack for your workplace.
