What is COSHH Training?
COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) training is essential for protecting workers from exposure to harmful substances such as chemicals, dusts, fumes, vapours, mists and biological agents. Without appropriate controls, exposure can lead to skin burns, respiratory irritation, dermatitis, long-term ill health or serious injury.
This COSHH Training course provides delegates with a clear understanding of hazardous substances commonly encountered in the workplace and the practical steps required to manage them safely. The training focuses on real-world use, helping workers understand how substances can cause harm and how exposure can be prevented.
The course combines essential theory with practical guidance that can be applied immediately in day-to-day work.
