This COSHH Training online will educate the learners with the knowledge to understand the potential health risks at work around hazardous substances. They will learn how to perform a COSHH risk assessment that highlights these risks and how to work safely.

In any workplace, there may be substances used in production, which could cause long or short term sickness or injury. The COSHH Regulations 2002 require each company to analyse those potentially hazardous substances in use. However, not all substances are obviously hazardous, for example, bartenders who frequently slice lemon or limes may develop dermatitis, or cleaners can be affected by strong cleaning chemicals.

This COSHH training will enable those responsible, to write their own risk assessment and will help employees understand the importance of control measures which may be put in place.
