Alcumus Sypol COSHH management solutions

Helping businesses to protect their people and comply with legislation for more than 40 years COSHH management software Consultancy services COSHH training

Our expertise supports your entire COSHH strategy

If your business uses or creates hazardous substances as part of your day-to-day processes, a robust COSHH management strategy is vital to safeguard your staff and comply with legislation.

This can be a complex task. Changing legislation, the introduction of new substances and the risk of human error means that you need a simple and structured way of protecting your staff and your business.

The ‘COSHH cycle’ is the basis from which all companies are expected to demonstrate their compliance with legislation. It is also how the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will assess the suitability of your processes when they inspect your business.

Having served our clients for more than 40 years, Alcumus Sypol understands the challenges that you face. That’s why our services are designed to solve all the problems that you have to deal with on a daily basis.

Management and assessment

Alcumus Sypol’s CMS helps you to manage hazardous substances more effectively, highlighting any requirement for elimination and substitution, assessing risk and providing guidance on how to control the use of substances within your business.

Training

Clear and comprehensive COSHH assessments generated by the system allow you to train your staff and ensure they conduct their work in line with risk assessments. Alcumus’ COSHH Assessor training courses also enable key members of your team to develop a more thorough understanding of COSHH best practice.

Monitoring and maintenance

Our COSHH management system (CMS) allows quick and easy access to monitor and report on your COSHH strategy. Workplace monitoring enables you to identify risks, take action to mitigate them and demonstrate compliance. This can be done through regular surveillance and reporting on air quality, PPE testing, hand/arm/while body vibration and noise exposure.

Features that help build your complete COSHH management solution

COSHH Compliance Survey Unless your workforce includes a qualified occupational hygienist, it will be almost impossible for you to accurately identify all COSHH risks within your business. Regular surveys need to be carried out by a COSHH expert, otherwise major failings will potentially only be recognised when it’s too late.

One of our experts will carry out a comprehensive review of your site either virtually or on-site to provide a robust view of the COSHH risks that you need to be aware of. A detailed report will provide recommendations and plans for what you need to do to mitigate risks.

Navigating your way through COSHH can be a difficult task. Understanding what you need to do to keep your people and business safe can leave you with a lot of questions.

A unique feature of our solution is our in-house helpdesk team of COSHH experts. Available up to 7-days-a-week, our technically qualified team work with our customers everyday to help and advise on any COSHH question, regardless of how complex.

COSHH Assessor Training Courses Training your workforce so they have a good understanding of COSHH legislation is important to manage risk in your organisation.

Our COSHH assessor course is essential training for any professional who deals with hazardous substances in the workplace. Delivered over two days, the interactive training is led by experienced COSHH trainers who will share their technical expertise so that you leave with a greater understanding and awareness of best practice.
