Course Overview
Many everyday workplace materials can affect health if they are not selected, stored, used or controlled properly. Hazardous substances may include cleaning products, chemicals, dusts, fumes, vapours, mists, gases and biological agents, as well as substances created by work processes.
Our Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Course helps learners understand the risks associated with hazardous substances and the practical steps organisations and employees should take to prevent ill health.
The course explains COSHH responsibilities in straightforward language and uses practical workplace examples to show how substances can cause harm, how people may be exposed and how risk assessments, safe systems of work and control measures help reduce that exposure.
It is suitable for employees who use or encounter hazardous substances, as well as supervisors and others who need a better understanding of COSHH controls. The content can be related to the substances and activities found within your workplace where appropriate.
At Good Skills Training, we believe quality training at affordable prices should be practical, engaging and easy to understand. Training does not have to be an alien concept.
