User acknowledgement

Reformatted 09/09/2026 to the 16-section COSHH template. Hazard classification, exposure limits, control measures and risk rating are unchanged from Issue 2 — the migration added the persons-at-risk grid, frequency and duration of exposure (COSHH Regulation 6), the GHS pictogram grid, the assessment outcome and the signature block.

This assessment must be reviewed annually or when circumstances change — whichever is sooner.

Method statements

No field method statement calls up this substance.

It is a fleet, plant-maintenance, office or welfare item rather than something used in carrying out a field task. The method statements held on the Van Packs site cover field operations; substances used on the vehicles, in the yard workshop or in the office are controlled by this assessment and by SOP 8.5 alone.

This assessment is one of thirty held under APP_09. The substance-specific controls are above; the system that maintains them is below.

Standard applied: COSHH Regulations 2002 (undated reference), with workplace exposure limits taken from HSE EH40/2005 and hazard classification from GB CLP. Referenced undated so a new edition does not force a re-issue of every assessment.
