Case Study: NHS Bradford achieves faster, more consistent COSHH compliance with EcoOnline's Sypol

How NHS Bradford achieved COSHH Compliance through effective digital management and team empowerment

NHS Bradford, a leading UK teaching hospital with more than 6,000 employees, needed a better way to manage COSHH compliance across diverse hospital areas such as wards, maintenance, and gardening. With EcoOnline’s Sypol platform already in place, the team’s challenge was to create visibility and consistency across all areas and move away from time-consuming manual checking and backlog-driven compliance.

EcoOnline helped NHS Bradford use Sypol to give managers a single overview of assessment status, speed up risk assessment creation, and make COSHH management easier to train and maintain. As a result, overdue assessments were reduced from 4,000 to 500, new assessments now take minutes instead of days, and the hospital has built a team of 100 dedicated COSHH assessors, making audits and ongoing compliance much more efficient.
