COSHH Awareness

COSHH Awareness:

The hazards of work are generally recognised and controlled. However, the long-term chronic or indeed some short term or acute effects of exposure to substances remains a major problem within our working environment. It is only in the recent past that some of the sufferings from long-term exposures to hazardous substances have come to light; the effects on the individual, the costs to the employer and to the nation are becoming far higher than other safety-related costs. This is where COSHH Awareness comes in.

The COSHH Awareness Training course examines the legislation, control strategies and the effects of exposure to substances in the workplace. On completion of our COSHH Awareness course, delegates will:

  • Understand the principles of the COSHH Awareness Regulations
