COSHH Awareness Training

How do I identify a hazardous substance?

If you work with materials that have any of the GHS (Globally Harmonised system) safety marks, or the now-outdated CHIP hazard markers, then you are legally required to have COSHH awareness training.

Please be aware: if your manufacturing process creates hazardous materials, you’ll also need COSHH awareness training. If you’re not sure if this is the case, please get in touch with us and we’ll be able to help.

Where can I find additional information about the COSHH assessment process?

We have a dedicated page covering the COSHH risk assessment process.  The training provided here will provide a solid background of COSHH from which addtional actions can be taken.  The key is that employees working with hazardous substances need to understand COSHH first, which is why this training is so essential.

What does the COSHH awareness training teach?

The training comes in the form of ten separate modules which teach different aspects of health and safety when handling hazardous materials.

• Introduction to COSHH health and safety
• Different types of hazards
• Different types of exposure to those hazards
• Government regulations and labelling
• How to assess COSHH risks
• Risk assessments in practice
• How to minimise and control exposure to hazardous materials
• Staying in control in the event of an accident
• Training and emergency planning should accidents occur
• A course summary

To get you started on the COSHH assessment process we will send you free of charge, a chemical inventory sheet which can be used to list all the chemicals that are stored and used on your premises.  In order to carry out any COSHH assessment you need to know what chemicals are present.  This is step one in our COSHH assessment process.  This inventory sheet will be sent to you once you have purchased this training.
