Overview

COSHH Training: Practical Assessment and Control introduces the essential principles of controlling workplace risks associated with hazardous substances under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) framework. The course explores hazardous substance identification, exposure routes, health effects, COSHH assessments, risk controls, safe storage, handling, labelling, personal protective equipment, workplace procedures, emergency actions, and monitoring. Learners will develop a practical understanding of how organisations can reduce exposure risks and protect workers from harmful substances.

Effective COSHH management begins with identifying what substances are present, understanding their hazards, and assessing how people may be exposed. Learners will examine common hazardous substances, routes of exposure such as inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, and injection, control measures, substitution, ventilation, safe working methods, spill response, storage arrangements, safety data sheets, and appropriate PPE. The course also highlights the importance of reviewing assessments when substances, processes, equipment, or working conditions change.

COSHH awareness is relevant across workplaces where chemicals, dusts, fumes, vapours, biological agents, or other hazardous substances may be present. The programme is suitable for employees, supervisors, managers, health and safety representatives, maintenance workers, cleaners, laboratory staff, and business owners. Alongside COSHH knowledge, learners can strengthen transferable capabilities including hazard identification, risk assessment, documentation, safety communication, control planning, observation, incident awareness, compliance monitoring, attention to detail, and responsible decision-making.

What is COSHH Training: Practical Assessment and Control?

This course introduces the principles of managing hazardous substances in the workplace under COSHH. It covers hazard identification, exposure assessment, control measures, storage, handling, PPE, emergency procedures, and documentation.

What does COSHH stand for?

COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. In Great Britain, COSHH regulations require employers to assess and control risks to workers from hazardous substances arising from work activities.

Is this COSHH course suitable for beginners?

Yes. No previous COSHH qualification or specialist safety experience is required. The course provides foundational knowledge suitable for employees, supervisors, managers, and people involved in workplace safety.

What will I learn from this COSHH course?

You will explore hazardous substances, exposure routes, COSHH assessments, risk controls, safe handling, storage, labelling, safety data sheets, PPE, ventilation, hygiene, monitoring, and emergency response.

What substances can COSHH apply to?

COSHH can apply to many hazardous substances encountered at work, including chemicals, dusts, fumes, vapours, mists, gases, and biological agents. The risks depend on the substance, exposure route, quantity, duration, and work activity.

What is a COSHH assessment?

A COSHH assessment identifies hazardous substances, considers how workers may be exposed, evaluates the associated risks, and determines appropriate measures to prevent or adequately control exposure.

What are common routes of exposure?

Hazardous substances can enter the body through routes such as breathing them in, swallowing them, skin contact or absorption, and injection through damaged skin. Identifying the likely exposure route helps determine suitable controls.
