Why Is COSHH Risk Assessment Important?
COSHH places a responsibility on employers to protect employees from the hazards of substances used in the work environment.
“An employer shall not carry out work which is liable to expose any employees to any substance hazardous to health unless he has — (a) made a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risk created by that work to the health of those employees and of the steps that need to be taken to meet the requirements of these Regulations”
– The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
“Every employer who undertakes work which is liable to expose an employee to a substance hazardous to health shall provide that employee with suitable and sufficient information, instruction and training.”
– The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
An effective COSHH risk assessment training can help employers to meet legal obligations – ensuring everyone in the workplace is competent to work safely with hazardous substances.
