Document background
The COSHH Assessment Form is a crucial workplace safety document required by Belgian law for any organization handling hazardous substances. This form must be completed in compliance with the Belgian Code on Well-being at Work and relevant EU regulations, including REACH and CLP. It serves as a systematic tool for identifying, assessing, and controlling risks associated with hazardous substances in the workplace. The assessment should be performed before any new hazardous substance is introduced into the workplace, when significant changes occur in processes or procedures, or at regular intervals as part of ongoing safety management. The document demonstrates due diligence in protecting worker health and safety while ensuring regulatory compliance in the Belgian jurisdiction.
