Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002, regulation 12 states that ‘every employer
who undertakes work which is liable to expose an employee to a substance hazardous to health shall provide that employee
with suitable and sufficient information, instruction and training.’
Employees also have a legal responsibility to co-operate fully with their employer in order to enable them to meet their legal obligations.
By providing effective COSHH training, employers can help to ensure that everyone in the workplace is competent to carry
out their work safely. Managers, supervisors and other members of staff should be able to recognise the hazards posed by
their work, be able to take action to reduce or eliminate the risks and understand how to follow procedures.
This COSHH training course provides suitable training for all levels of employees who work, or may come into contact with, hazardous substances in the workplace.
All employees must have the necessary knowledge to be competent and do the job properly.
This includes, but is not limited to, people who work in professions such as:
