Typical hazards & measures
Storage at height and manual handling
— Keep heavy 5 L+ at waist height; use step stools with handholds; decant at bench level; two-person lifts for bulk; close caps before moving; move stock on trolleys rather than carrying through client areas; record near misses for layout fixes.
Counterfeit or diverted stock
— Buy only via authorised distributors; verify serials, seals, INCI, lot and expiry; keep receipts and a lot log; quarantine suspect items; brief staff to spot off-odours, colour shifts or unusual packaging before anything reaches the bay.
SDS and COSHH assessment gaps
— Maintain up-to-date SDS both on paper and digitally; run annual COSHH assessments; place quick cards with first-aid, PPE and spill steps at stations; brief new products at team huddles; archive superseded sheets for traceability.
Waste segregation and disposal non-compliance
— Label waste as oxidiser, solvent or general; use closed, compatible containers; never pour bulk actives to drain; retain collection manifests; train staff on streams; audit monthly and action any variance within 24 h.
Spill containment, bunding and drain protection gaps
— Fit bunded trays (≥110% largest container); place spill kits within 10 s; deploy drain covers/socks before wet clean; isolate, absorb, neutralise if required, and bag as hazardous waste; record events and restock kits immediately after use.
