COSHH Awareness
Our COSHH Training Course equips you with essential knowledge to identify and understand the risks associated with hazardous substances, helping to minimise health and safety hazards in the workplace.
The letters C-O-S-H-H are an abbreviation for the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. Every year thousands of people are made ill by hazardous substances at work. Examples of illnesses include lung diseases, such as asthma, cancer and in some cases, they may lead to premature death.
