Overview

What if everyday substances quietly damage your lungs over time? HSE estimates 22,000 new work-related breathing or lung cases yearly. And around 11,000 occupational lung-disease deaths occur each year. So, COSHH training helps recognise risks before exposure causes harm. Under COSHH 2002, employers must prevent or adequately control exposure.

Moreover, employers must provide suitable information, instruction, and training. Choose this course to assess hazards and apply safer controls.

What you'll learn

By completing this course, learners will be able to:

  • Identify hazardous substances and common workplace exposure routes.
  • Explain COSHH duties and relevant employer responsibilities.
  • Apply COSHH risk assessment training principles to scenarios.
  • Evaluate exposure controls using prevention and hierarchy principles.
  • Describe safer chemical handling, storage, PPE, and emergency actions.
  • Assess Safety Data Sheet information before hazardous-substance tasks.

Who Needs COSHH Training for Cleaners and Other Staff?

COSHH training for cleaners supports safer chemical handling. It also suits maintenance, facilities, warehouse, and production teams. Supervisors and managers also benefit from responsibility awareness.

What Does a COSHH Training Course Cover?

This COSHH training course covers four core learning areas:

  • It starts with hazardous substances and regulatory responsibilities.
  • Then it examines health hazards and dangerous chemicals.
  • Next, learners explore risk assessment and GHS classification.
  • Finally, learners examine practical exposure-control measures.

What Happens Without Effective COSHH Awareness Training?

Poor awareness can increase exposure, misuse, and control failures. Some effects develop years after workplace exposure. HSE estimates 11,000 annual lung-disease deaths from past exposures. Effective COSHH awareness training supports earlier risk recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This beginner course requires no previous COSHH knowledge. Cleaners can learn safer chemical handling and hazard recognition.

They include identifying hazards, assessing risks, using controls, wearing PPE, following labels, storing chemicals safely, and reporting incidents. 

COSHH training teaches employees how to identify hazardous substances, understand risks, and use appropriate control measures safely. 

The five steps are identifying hazards, assessing risks, selecting controls, recording findings, and reviewing the assessment regularly. 

The three common types are induction training, job-specific training, and refresher training for maintaining workplace safety knowledge. 

No. Online learning cannot replace workplace-specific COSHH assessments. Employers must assess actual substances, tasks, and exposures.
