According to the Health and Safety Executive, contact with cleaning products is a leading cause of dermatitis, a work-related skin disease. Chemical cleaning agents are also the second largest cause of occupational asthma.
Apart from asthma and dermatitis, chemical agents can cause severe allergic reactions, chemical burns and poisoning. Mishandling, misuse and improper storage drastically increase the chance of accidents. Every employer has a legal duty to control these hazards under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) and other general health and safety legislation.
Our chemical safety training course provides cleaners with an understanding of chemical cleaning hazards and control measures. It supports compliance, reduces liability and ensures workers can recognise and manage the risks of using chemical cleaning agents.
COSHH regulations require employers to assess the risks of hazardous substances and take appropriate precautions. COSHH assessments are required for potentially hazardous cleaning products used at work.
This assessment ensures that workers are aware of the risks and how to handle the chemicals safely.
If cleaners are handling substances with the potential to cause harm, they must undertake COSHH for cleaners.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, any employees who handle hazardous substances should be provided adequate information, instruction and training. This ensures they are aware of the hazards they face and understand the control measures put in place to protect them.
In the UK, COSHH for cleaners may be mandatory for individuals handling hazardous substances, including cleaning products. It helps them understand health risks and the importance of following control measures to minimise exposure. For specific legal requirements, consult regulatory authorities, occupational health and safety guidelines, or local labour laws.
This course is designed for cleaners who handle hazardous substances. It’s also beneficial for:
