Why this dispenser earns its place
The Suma Divermite Plus GC389 is a 1.5 litre sink dispenser for concentrated washing-up chemical. Diversey describes it as a simple unit for dispensing chemicals safely and accurately, reducing the free-pour guesswork that can waste concentrate at a busy pot-wash sink.
It is matched to Diversey's GC397 D1 washing-up liquid, with the manufacturer stating 300 doses per pouch. That gives managers a clear restocking figure for manual wash-up routines and helps keep chemical use consistent from shift to shift.
The white unit measures 360(H) x 163(W) x 155(D)mm and weighs 1kg gross, so it needs only a small area for storage or fixing near the sink. The body is lockable, keeping the concentrate secured rather than leaving pouches loose beside a working wash-up area.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
