Overview

This COSHH for Construction course is designed to raise your skills and awareness of working with, and around, hazardous substances when on a Construction site.

The learning objectives within this course are important for employees to understand because the health risks from hazardous substances are many and varied. For example, infections caused by bacteria and viruses, allergies, poisoning or toxic effects. Eyes can become damaged from foreign bodies such as dust or flying particles.

Hazardous substances can cause both immediate and long-term health problems. For example, a cleaner splashing bleach on their skin could cause a burn or inflammation of the skin. However, a splash in the eye could cause permanent eyesight damage.

Additionally, the long-term effects of exposure to certain substances may not be noticeable immediately but develop over time into illnesses such as dermatitis, asthma and cancer.

COSHH regulations required employers to provide appropriate training to their staff. This course is designed to fulfil this requirement for those working in the construction sector.

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.
