Why is COSHH Training Important?
Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, employers must assess and manage hazardous substance risks in their workplace. As part of this duty, employers must provide safety training to employees at risk of exposure to hazardous substances.
Failing to follow COSHH guidelines significantly increases health risks. Based on the substance and type of exposure, workers can suffer:
Skin conditions, such as dermatitis
Poisoning
Dizziness
Blindness or vision problems
Lung conditions, such as asthma
Serious diseases, such as cancer
This COSHH awareness training course ensures workers recognise the risks posed by hazardous substances and understand the principles of working safely with them.
Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations set out what must be done to protect workers from exposure to harmful substances.
Under these regulations, employers must ensure hazardous substances at work are identified and the risks they present are adequately assessed and controlled.
This duty includes training employees on hazardous substance health risks and the precautions that must be taken to protect against harmful exposure.
Failure to comply with COSHH can lead to serious health consequences for employees, as well as legal and financial penalties for employers.
This COSHH awareness e-learning course helps workers understand the dangers hazardous substances pose and the safety principles they must comply with.
