Course Overview
Every year, thousands of workers suffer from illnesses caused by hazardous substances in the workplace. Exposure to these chemicals can lead to serious health issues and cost businesses, society, and individuals millions of pounds each year. You might think that you’re not working with anything particularly dangerous, but the truth is that many of the products we use on a daily basis can pose a risk to our health if not handled correctly.
The COSHH regulations are designed to protect you from the potential health risks posed by hazardous substances. The COSHH Basics course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to handle hazardous substances safely. By taking this course, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the potential risks involved and learn how to protect yourself and others in the workplace.
