The EH40 Risk Phrases are coded into the COSHH section of our health and safety software but we also appreciate that you may be looking for these risk phrases for another purpose, without the need to use our software and we have therefore provided them here for your use.
We have also provided these risk phrases as a CSV file so that you can use them elsewhere.
