What you get
Chemical register
Every substance, where it’s used, how much is held, its hazard classification and the safety data sheet attached to it.
SDS upload and extraction
Upload the supplier’s safety data sheet as a PDF and the key details are pulled out for you to check, rather than re-typed from section 2 by hand.
AI-drafted assessments
Built-in AI drafts the COSHH assessment and flags control measures from the substance and the task, giving your competent person a first draft rather than a blank form.
Exposure records
Record who is exposed to what, and how, so health surveillance and the auditor both have the record they need.
Review reminders
Set a review cycle per assessment and get reminded before it falls due, instead of finding out at the audit.
Linked to RAMS and permits
Pull the chemicals a method statement covers straight from the register, so RAMS and permits reference the real assessment.
How it works
Add the substance
Name, supplier, where it’s used and stored. Upload the SDS.
Check the extracted hazards
Hazard statements, PPE and first-aid measures come out of the SDS for you to confirm.
Draft the assessment
Ask the AI for a first draft, then your competent person edits the controls and signs it off.
Assign, expose, review
Record who is exposed, set the review cycle, and let the reminders do the chasing.
COSHH software for businesses without a full-time safety officer
The AI drafts; a competent person decides. COSHH assessments must be made by someone with the knowledge to judge the risk, and OpSemble gives that person a head start rather than a substitute.
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations require every employer to assess the risk from hazardous substances before work starts, put controls in place, and keep the assessment up to date. In most small businesses that means a ring binder of safety data sheets, a spreadsheet of what’s in the store, and a set of assessments written once and reviewed never.
OpSemble puts the three together. The register is the inventory. The SDS is attached to the substance and its contents are extracted rather than transcribed. The assessment is drafted from both, with the AI suggesting controls that a competent person then confirms. Exposure records sit against the people, not in a separate file, and review dates are chased automatically.
There is no pre-built substance database to buy. Your register is built from the SDSs your suppliers already give you, which is also the only version of the truth an auditor will accept. The extraction does the heavy lifting of getting them in.
COSHH is one part of OpSemble Health & Safety, which also covers incidents and RIDDOR, risk assessments and RAMS, PPE, permits, contractors and an ISO 45001 register, at £9 per user per month plus a £29 platform fee. The people who don’t manage chemicals don’t need a seat.
Frequently asked questions
Is an AI-drafted COSHH assessment compliant on its own?
No. The regulations require a suitable and sufficient assessment made by someone competent to make it. The AI produces a draft from the SDS and the task; your competent person reviews, edits and signs it off.
Do you have a database of substances?
No. You build the register from your suppliers’ safety data sheets, and the SDS upload extracts the key details so you are not re-typing them. That keeps the register tied to the actual products you hold.
Can I record who is exposed?
Yes. Exposure records are held against the substance and the person, giving you the record health surveillance needs.
Does it remind me to review assessments?
Yes. Each assessment has a review cycle, and owners are reminded before it falls due.
Can I link COSHH to method statements?
Yes. The RAMS builder pulls the substances a method statement covers from the register, so the pack references the real assessment.
What does it cost?
COSHH is part of the Health & Safety module at £9 per user per month, on top of the £29/month platform fee. 14-day free trial, no card required.
