Why take this course?
Every year, exposure to hazardous substances makes up a large portion of work-related injuries and illnesses. COSHH training is crucial to ensuring that everyone in the workplace can recognise the risks associated with hazardous substances and understand the precautions they can take to stay safe.
Employers have a legal duty to comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations and protect employee health by preventing or controlling exposure. By taking our COSHH training course, you will be equipped with the knowledge to fulfil your duties, including COSHH risk assessments, implementing control measures, monitoring exposure and health surveillance. This course contains a downloadable pack for you to take away, containing an overview of all your responsibilities under COSHH.
Employees also have a role to play in staying safe whilst working with hazardous substances. Our COSHH training course will provide you with a foundational knowledge of what hazardous substances are, what to expect of your employer and steps you can take to keep yourself and others safe. You will learn about the serious ill health effects of exposure, as well as the importance of following safe systems of work and any information, instruction and training you are given.
Module 1: The Risks of Hazardous Substances
This module explores what hazardous substances are, how they can cause you harm and what you can do to keep yourself and others safe. It contains an additional section that you can choose to view if it is relevant to your role, covering duties under the regulations, COSHH risk assessments and the hierarchy of control.
Module 2: Implementing Control Measures
This module outlines how control measures can help reduce the risk of harm from hazardous substances. It covers pre-use checks on protective equipment, understanding hazard labels and Safety Data Sheets, safe methods of handling hazardous substances and what is required in the event of an accident or emergency.
Once you have completed all of the online training material, you will be able to take the online assessment. The assessment consists of 15 multiple choice questions with a pass mark of 80%. The answers are marked instantly so you will know whether you have passed as soon as you finish.
If you don’t pass the assessment you can review the course material and take the assessment again as many times as necessary at no extra charge.
