About This COSHH Course

From construction dust to asbestos in buildings, hazardous substances need to be understood and dealt with properly.

This COSHH awareness training course helps workers understand the dangers hazardous substances pose and control measures that can be implemented to reduce exposure risks.

Why Is This Training Important?

Failing to follow COSHH guidelines can result in a variety of 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 course empowers workers to recognise hazardous substances, understand the harm they can cause and implement measures to control the risk of exposure. 

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations, or COSHH, set out how to protect workers from exposure to harmful substances they may come across at work.

Employers’ responsibilities under these regulations include identifying hazardous substances in the workplace, assessing the associated risks and implementing control measures to minimise or eliminate the risks.

Employees also have responsibilities under COSHH, including following safety procedures, using protective equipment and reporting any potential hazards to their employer.

Failure to comply with COSHH regulations can lead to serious health consequences for employees, as well as legal and financial consequences for employers.
