This COSHH Awareness course gives workers knowledge of the risks of hazardous substances. It also explains the control measures that must be in place so they can work safely.
Hazardous substances can cause allergic reactions, chemical burns, sickness from ingestion, fires, and explosions. These substance can also cause asthma and dermatitis. However, all these problems are very preventable with proper planning and procedures.
The law requires employers to take reasonable steps to safeguard the health and safety of all employees. As part of this, employers should raise awareness of the risks of hazardous substances, and also outline how to minimise those risks.
The course duration is approximately 1 to 2 hours.
What is COSHH?
COSHH stands for the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. It is the law that requires employers to prevent or reduce employees’ exposure to hazardous substances. Hazardous substances can include chemicals, products containing chemicals, fumes, dust or vapours/mists. The aim of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 is to protect workers’ health and safety against the adverse effects of using hazardous substances at work.
The importance of COSHH Awareness training
Every year, thousands of workers suffer from exposure to hazardous substances, contracting lung diseases such as asthma, cancer and skin disease such as dermatitis. If your workplace uses potentially hazardous substances, then COSHH Awareness training is vital for keeping your team members safe. The regulations require you to consider the health effects that a substance might have, in the short term and also in the long term.
COSHH training courses help learners to understand hazardous substance regulations, and how to correctly apply them in their role.
