What goes wrong
The law requires employers to control the risks that hazardous substances pose to workers, and with five or more employees the assessment must be recorded. HSE warns that an assessment left unreviewed lets gradual change over time go unnoticed.

How the register holds it
- One item owed to HSE, with a health and safety lead as its owner and a due date set from the rule above.
- The owner commits to a date the first time they open it, and the evidence (coshh register, data sheets) is attached before it can be marked done.
- A manager confirms it, a reminder goes by email before it falls due, and the item's history cannot be edited or deleted.
