Our guide to everything you need to know about COSHH training and how you can access our free COSHH training course at AUK Hygiene.
If you work in the cleaning and hygiene sector, and handling cleaning chemicals on a regular basis, COSHH training is an essential requirement. COSHH training relates to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations. These regulations are a part of the UK health and safety laws designed to protect workers from the risks associated with handling hazardous substances.
COSHH training is essential for ensuring a safe working environment and protecting the health of employees who may be exposed to hazardous substances. It is typically required for industries such as manufacturing, construction, laboratories, healthcare, and any other workplaces where hazardous substances are used or produced.
A typical COSHH training programme helps workers to understand the COSHH regulations, identify hazardous substances, conduct a risk assessment to identify and evaluate the potential health risks posed by certain substances, implement control measures, and learn the emergency procedures that could be appropriate in the event of spills, exposure, or accidents.
The training also teaches workers how to monitor their own health and the health of those around them when exposed to hazardous substances, how to store, label, and dispose of hazardous substances to prevent accidents and environmental contamination, and educates employees about their responsibilities to follow safety procedures, use protective equipment, and report any incidents or hazards.
