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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
