Standards and responsibilities
The UK's Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) require employers to assess and control risks to health from hazardous substances in the workplace.
Employees also have responsibilities to follow established safety procedures, use control measures correctly and cooperate with their employer's health and safety arrangements.
This course builds awareness of COSHH requirements and practical responsibilities but does not replace workplace-specific risk assessments, instructions or training.
