# How to manage the COSHH Library and COSHH baskets for Guided RAMS

**Feature: Guided RAMS.** This guide is about Guided RAMS, the Intuety feature for building a Task Specific RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) step by step inside Intuety. It does not cover uploading an existing RAMS for review. You only see Guided RAMS if your organisation has the Guided RAMS module turned on.

The COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Library holds the hazardous substances your teams use, their COSHH documents, and the controls for each activity. Guided RAMS (RAMS: Risk Assessment and Method Statement) uses it for the COSHH Assessment step. This guide is for Client Admins in organisations with the Guided RAMS module.

### Who can use this?

- Client Admins, in organisations that have the Guided RAMS module turned on.

### Before you start

- Have the COSHH assessments and safety data sheets for each substance (PDF or Word).

### Where do I find the COSHH Library?

Select **COSHH Library** in the left-hand menu, under the **Guided RAMS** heading. The page has three tabs: **Documents**, **Substances** and **COSHH baskets**.

### How do I add a substance?

1. Open the **Substances** tab and select **Add Substance**.
2. Enter the **Name**, **Manufacturer**, **Category**, **Description** and **Method of Application**.
3. Under **Activities**, select **Add Activity** for each way the substance is used. For each activity, select **Add Control** to add its controls.
4. Select **Save**.

### How do I upload COSHH documents?

1. Open the **Documents** tab and select **Upload Document**, or drag and drop several files.
2. For each file, choose the **Substance** and **Category**, and the **Document Type**: **COSHH Assessment** or **COSHH Data Sheet**.
3. Enter the **Name** and **Reference** (for example COSHH-001).
4. Select **Save**.

### How do I create a COSHH basket?

A basket groups substances that are often used together, so people can select them in one go during Guided RAMS.

1. Open the **COSHH baskets** tab and select **Create basket**.
2. Enter a **Name** and choose its substances.
3. Select **Save**.

### What happens next?

In the COSHH Assessment step of Guided RAMS, people can pick substances one by one or choose a basket. Choosing a basket selects all its substances. The RAMS lists the basket instead of each substance and its controls.

### Common questions

- **No substances show in Guided RAMS:** make sure substances have been added in the **Substances** tab.
