is important because hazardous substances can cause immediate harm or long-term occupational ill health. HSE guidance explains that COSHH covers substances such as chemicals, products containing chemicals, fumes, dusts, vapours, mists, nanotechnology, gases, biological agents and germs that cause disease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmployers must prevent exposure to hazardous substances or, where prevention is not reasonably practicable, adequately control exposure. This duty is set out in the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. COSHH training therefore supports safer behaviour, better reporting and more consistent use of workplace controls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExposure management also depends on reliable information. HSE states that EH40 contains current workplace exposure limits for use with COSHH and that the list is legally binding under COSHH. OSHA also notes that employers with hazardous chemicals must have labels and safety data sheets for exposed workers and train them to handle chemicals appropriately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHazard communication is increasingly global. The United Nations GHS provides criteria for classifying health, physical and environmental hazards and specifies information for hazardous chemical labels and safety data sheets. This makes COSHH awareness valuable for international learners who need to understand chemical hazard symbols, safety data sheets and workplace substance controls across different settings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis course helps learners build practical confidence in recognising hazardous substances, understanding exposure risks, following safe systems of work and supporting stronger COSHH compliance.
