AutoCOSHH

Description

AutoCOSHH is an application that attempts to eliminate the menial work involved in manually generating COSHH risk assessments. Given a list of chemicals and their respective hazard codes, AutoCOSHH performs the logic that relates a given hazard code to its associated hazards, exposure routes and control measures. These relationships are defined in a local SQL database. LaTeX and the latexmk package is then used to compile a clean COSHH risk assessment in the required format (see images below).

Features

• Generate hundred-page long COSHH risk assessments in seconds
• Specify mass, concentration, volume and other details after a double backslash
• Automatates 'Specific Safety or Risk Implication' section
• Large number of commonly used solvents and chemicals already specified
• Easily add missing chemicals and their respective hazard codes to reference.csv
• Randomise display order of chemicals
