Question

Why are COSHH assessments carried out?

• A. To assess the cost
• B. To assess the materials used for product
• C. To assess the health hazards if chemicals are produced while making a product
• D. To assess the structure of chemicals

Hint:

COSHH assessments help ensure safe working conditions by identifying and managing chemical health hazards.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

COSHH, which stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, requires assessments to:

• Identify workplace hazardous substances.
• Evaluate their health risks.
• Implement controls to minimize or eliminate exposure.

These assessments are legally mandated in industries where workers interact with or are exposed to chemicals, fumes, dust, vapors, or biological agents. Explanation of Other Options:

• (A) Cost assessment is not relevant to COSHH.
• (B) Material analysis belongs to design, not health hazard assessment.
• (D) Chemical structure analysis is a separate chemical task, unrelated to COSHH.

Therefore, option (C) is the correct choice.
