When carrying out a chemical risk assessment in the @SEA-@SHORE platform, you will make use of both the chemical database and the risk asessment module.
In the chemicals database, hazards of a chemical product is assessed, and appropriate control measures is communicated through a workplace instruction and a PPE notice.
In principle, four players are involved in the chemical risk assessment process:
The user on board the ship
Administrator of the chemicals on shipowner level
SEA HEALTH AND WELFARE
DHI A/S (third party regulatory experts)
By using both the chemicals database module and the risk assessment module provided in the @SEA-@SHORE platform, COSHH compliance is ensured through the product specific workplace instructions, the job specific hazard identification and risk management measures.
For users not working with the risk assessment module, the workplace instruction and substitution advice obtained in the chemicals database module can be used to ensure COSHH compliance in combination with the users own risk assessment.
