    This document summarizes a COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) assessment for a dry powder called STD MONEX used by the fire team for firefighting. The powder is potassium salt urea-based and poses minimal health risks if inhaled or causes skin/eye irritation. Exposure is possible during firefighting activities. Control measures include storing the powder in sealed containers, using dust masks and safety glasses when refilling extinguishers, and ensuring adequate ventilation. The assessment concludes the risks are not significant due to effective controls and no further action is needed.
