COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. These regulations require employers to prevent or adequately control employees’ exposure to substances that could cause ill health.
Hazardous substances can include chemicals, cleaning products, dusts, fumes, vapours, mists, gases and biological agents. Some harmful substances may also be created during workplace activities, such as wood dust from sanding or fumes from welding. HSE COSHH guidance
This course is suitable for employees in a wide range of sectors, and especially for those who work in environments where hazardous substances are used or stored. FGH Training delivers it for organisations in areas such as healthcare, manufacturing, cleaning, transport, utilities, and office environments that want their teams to better understand COSHH requirements and workplace safety.
Learners will gain an understanding of the law relating to hazardous substances in the workplace, along with the precautions and procedures required to control them safely. Through FGH Training, they will also learn how risk assessments contribute to the safe use of hazardous substances, giving them practical knowledge they can apply in day-to-day work.
COSHH training helps team members recognise hazardous substances, understand the risks of exposure and follow the correct control measures. This can reduce accidents and work-related ill health, improve responses to spillages and support safer handling, storage and disposal practices across your workplace.
Employers must provide suitable information, instruction and training to employees who may be exposed to hazardous substances. This qualification can support that responsibility, but employers must also provide information about the substances, risks and control measures within their own workplace.
Yes. FGH Training delivers this as a regulated qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework, and successful learners receive a personalised Qualsafe Level 2 Award in Principles of COSHH e-certificate after their results have been submitted.
