COSHH Awareness Training
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 require employers to prevent, reduce and/or control exposure to hazardous substances, preventing ill health and harm among workers.
In line with Regulation 12 of COSHH, employers are also legally required to provide employees with suitable information and health and safety training to ensure that they can carry out their work safely and competently. Delegates will also understand the importance of using Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) when undertaking suitable and sufficient risk assessments.
Introducing delegates to the inherent risks associated with hazardous substances and the control measures required to ensure safety, the COSHH Awareness course equips both employers and workers with the appropriate knowledge and training to keep the level of exposure to these substances to a minimum.

Aims and Objectives
Delegates will learn the key stages of undertaking suitable COSHH assessments throughout their awareness training. These outline how to assess the risks posed by hazardous substances, determine appropriate control measures, monitor levels of exposure, carry out health surveillance, implement policies and procedures in the event of a relative emergency and ensure that employees are properly informed, trained and supervised in line with COSHH regulations.
Course Overview
During their COSHH training, delegates will learn how to safely work with hazardous substances such as chemicals, nano particles, fumes, dusts, biological agents, vapours, gases and fibres in cooperation with the safety procedures outlined by their managers/supervisors. They will learn about the various control measures that can be implemented to keep the risk of exposure down to a minimum, such as PPE, enclosures, ventilation and safer alternatives, be able to carry out COSHH assessments and understand appropriate health surveillance.
Once they have completed all of the content within the COSHH Awareness course, delegates will be required to undertake a multiple-choice examination which will consolidate all of the knowledge surrounding COSHH regulations, hazards and safety measures.
Outcomes
At the end of their COSHH training and subject to successful completion of the multiple-choice test, delegates will be awarded with a certificate outlining their newfound knowledge and ability to comply with COSHH regulations. While there is no expiry date for this certification, delegates are recommended to undertake COSHH Awareness refresher training every three years, or earlier if products change, in order to update and enhance their knowledge in line with any regulatory changes.
