COSHH Made Simple

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 2002 requires every employer to identify substances in use at the workplace and to assess whether they present a risk. Such assessments must be recorded and any risks must be prevented or controlled.

The subject of COSHH often gives rise to concerns by those responsible for its implementation yet, for most basic work activities, COSHH is not, and does not need to be, overly complicated. This COSHH training course covers the statutory requirements and identifies straightforward and practical ways to deal with COSHH assessments.

Who should attend

This COSHH training is aimed at personnel taking either direct responsibility or an assisting role in COSHH arrangements for the first time. Equally, supervisors and line managers with operational responsibility for the safe use of hazardous substances in their area will benefit from attending.
