COSHH Awareness Online Training

COSSH Awareness | This Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Awareness course, COSHH, for short, is designed to raise your skills and awareness of working with, and around, hazardous substances.

The majority of businesses use substances, or products that are mixtures of substances. Some processes create substances. These could cause harm to employees, contractors and members of the public.

Sometimes substances are easily recognised as harmful. Common substances such as paint, bleach or dust from natural materials may also be harmful. Hazardous substances can cause skin irritation, poisoning or harm to the environment in the form of pollution.

So, it is essential that you and your staff know how to work with them correctly.
