PPE 

19  Wear, in a proper manner, any PPE provided. Store PPE when it is not in use in the 

accommodation provided. Remove any protective clothing, which could cause contamination before 

entering a canteen or other clean area.  

RECORDS 

20  The assessment must be documented; the COSHH assessment proforma can be used, recording 

any additional information on a locally generated continuation sheet.  Completed documentation is to be 

readily accessible in the place of work for use by the workforce. 

21  The record is to be kept locally whilst it remains active, and is to be archived when replaced.  See

COMPETENCE  

22  Competence in this area, at unit level or equivalent, is difficult to achieve because of the complexity 

of the regulations and the varying toxicity of lead particularly for woman and young persons.  

Consequently, if a degree of uncertainty is experienced during the assessment, the line manager, via 

the unit Safety Advisor, is to seek assistance from in house occupational or environmental health 

specialists.
