The HandsHQ COSHH database contains over 10,000 products, so hopefully, we'll have what you need! The entire database is accessible for all our clients with the COSHH feature.

Note: the COSHH feature is not available on Basic plans.

Searching for COSHH in HandsHQ

You can search in the HandsHQ COSHH library by substance name, reference number or manufacturer.

You might call a product by a slightly different name, please try searching by the manufacturer, or reach out to us below.

Can't find what you're looking for?

Our COSHH database has over 10,000 substances, but on the rare occasion we don't have what you need, you can send us the safety data sheet for the substance, and we'll add it.

Tips for when requesting a new product

  • Safety data sheet: this is different from the technical or material data sheet - we strictly need the safety data sheet (SDS) to produce a COSHH assessment (and nothing else!)

  • From the manufacturer: the best place to get the SDS is directly from your supplier or manufacturer - check their website or contact them directly

  • Up to date: try to find the latest version of the SDS, ideally dated within the last 5 years

  • PDF: ideally, we prefer a readable PDF format - please avoid Word, Excel or scanned images

  • Is COSHH needed? If the substance is actually not classified as hazardous, you most likely do not need to produce a COSHH assessment for it. Read more here

Please send the SDS to be added to help@handshq.com, or attach it in the webchat below ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Please allow up to 5 working days per assessment to go live in the HandsHQ library - we'll let you know once we've processed it.
