Unleaded Petrol COSHH Assessment

A Petrol COSHH assessment is required if you work in an environment where petrol is prevalent. To make your task much easier, we’ve consulted our COSHH experts to provide this handy Unleaded petrol COSHH assessment template that highlights the risks and hazards associated with working with petrol. 

Why is an Unleaded Petrol COSHH assessment important?

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Act (COSHH) outlines identifying and evaluating the risks of substances that are associated with working, handling and dispensing petrol. If you are an employer who employs people to work and operate equipment at a petrol station, then you are legally responsible to undertake a COSHH assessment for petrol.

COSHH assessment for petrol requirements

Outlined in the COSHH petrol assessment are a number of criteria that must be adhered to remain compliant with the COSHH regulations. These include: 

• Identification of hazards.
• Identifying who is at risk and how.
• Regular petrol COSHH assessment reviews, documenting any changes or recommendations as a result of changing circumstances.
• Thorough risk evaluation and removing or minimising the associated risks.
• Recording findings and implementing adequate training to enhance procedures and knowledge.
