COSHH Assessment for Door and Shutter Engineers
A COSHH assessment of the hazardous substances used or created, built from the product's Safety Data Sheet, the way HSE requires. Below: what a door and shutter engineer's COSHH Assessment must contain, why they get rejected, and the hazards it has to cover, or generate one for your exact job in a couple of minutes.
What a compliant COSHH Assessment must contain
- Each substance with its hazard statements and CAS number from the SDS
- The Workplace Exposure Limit (EH40) where one exists, never invented
- Controls in the Reg 7 hierarchy (LEV/ventilation before RPE)
- Process-generated substances screened (dust, fume, silica)
Why a door and shutter engineer's COSHH Assessment gets rejected
- Generic solvent boilerplate instead of the actual SDS hazards
- A Workplace Exposure Limit fabricated for a substance that has none
- Exposure risk credited mainly to gloves/masks (RPE is the LAST resort)
- Process dust/fume (wood dust, welding fume, RCS) not assessed

- Crush and trap injuries from powered door and shutter mechanisms during commissioning and testing
- Working at height on access equipment to install overhead gear, tracks and curtain boxes
- Manual handling of heavy door leaves, shutter curtains and steel sections
- Stored energy hazards from torsion springs under high tension
- Electrical hazards from wiring motorised drives and control panels (connection to supply)
- Asbestos in pre-2000 building fabric disturbed when cutting or drilling fixings into walls and lintels

Do door and shutter engineers legally need a COSHH Assessment?
A COSHH assessment of the hazardous substances used or created, built from the product's Safety Data Sheet, the way HSE requires. For door and shutter engineer work, meaning Install, maintain and repair industrial, commercial and domestic doors, roller shutters, sectional overhead doors, fire doors and access control systems on site., it is the document a client, principal contractor or inspector expects to see, grounded in COSHH 2002 reg 6/7 (HSE), built from the product Safety Data Sheet.
What makes a door and shutter engineer's COSHH Assessment fail?
The usual reasons: Generic solvent boilerplate instead of the actual SDS hazards; A Workplace Exposure Limit fabricated for a substance that has none; Exposure risk credited mainly to gloves/masks (RPE is the LAST resort). RAMSReady generates one to the correct published form and avoids these.
