The COSHH Awareness Training for Cleaners & Maintenance Staff: Chemical Safety & Risk Control course provides essential knowledge on handling hazardous substances safely in the workplace. From cleaning chemicals to maintenance products, many substances can pose serious health risks if used incorrectly. This course helps learners understand how to identify, manage, and control these risks.

Hazardous substances are commonly used in cleaning and maintenance roles. Without proper awareness, exposure may lead to skin irritation, breathing problems, burns, or long-term health issues. This course is ideal for cleaners, janitors, caretakers, facilities teams, and maintenance staff who need to work safely and comply with UK COSHH regulations.

This online training covers the legal framework of COSHH, identifying harmful substances, understanding labels and SDS, risk assessments, control measures, PPE, safe storage, and emergency procedures. Learners will also explore case studies and workplace examples to improve awareness of responsibilities and safe working practices. On completion, participants will be better prepared to reduce risks, protect health, and support compliance in their workplace.
