COSHH Training
Overview
This training course was designed with all levels of employees in mind and covers all the information necessary to keep the user and their colleagues safe from substances that may be potentially harmful to their health.
Seeing as hazardous substances account for around 650,000 deaths every year, it is crucial that any employee who works with chemicals (even household chemicals like bleach) understand their responsibilities under COSHH Regulations and how to reduce the chances of an incident occurring.
