COSHH Risk assessments are not something that has to be done once and then forgotten about. The assessment will have details of when the assessment needs to be reviewed. This will be based on the substance, hazard, risk, and many other factors. Other reasons for reviewing can be where the work process has changed, a new production system is introduced, different worker types are employed, changing of a chemical used and many more reasons.
All reviews must be recorded in writing and kept so that there is written evidence of all risk assessments carried out, by whom and when. All findings and actions are recorded so that if there was an incident, there is written proof of all risk assessments and decisions that were made. Ask your employer for more information on the review process in your workplace.
