Working with Chemicals

How to identify and control the use of hazardous substances at work

Using hazardous substances at work is a very common practice, whether they are:

those used directly in work, e.g. solvents, adhesives and cleaning materials
those which arise from the work, e.g. dust, fumes and waste products
those which occur naturally, e.g. fungal spores in agriculture or Legionella bacteria.

This course is designed to help understand the principles of working safely with these substances and gives an overview of the CoSHH Regulations.

You will learn:

how to identify hazardous substances (e.g. labelling, data sheets, etc)
meaning of terms - toxic, corrosive, harmful, irritant, etc.
main routes of entry of substances into the body
significance of the form of the substance e.g. dust, gas, vapour, liquid etc.
hierarchy of control measures
main requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging) Regulations 2002.

Anyone involved with controlling, using or storing hazardous substances.
