9:3 Risk Assessments for Procedures not covered by COSHH
The department has designed a Risk Assessment Form (copy in front of book) for general use. It is suitable for laboratory procedures involving hazards other than those covered by COSHH and for fieldwork. All activities should be covered by a Risk Assessment Form. This includes practical classes for undergraduates. (The risk assessment form is available on CFS.)
