Customer Feedback
Why Is COSHH Training for Cleaners Important?
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.
