Overview

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.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
