C.O.S.H.H Workplace Training

Looking for top-tier health and safety in house training in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire? COSHH, standing for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, is a critical set of UK regulations designed to protect workers from the risks posed by hazardous substances.

With 13,000 deaths annually linked to workplace exposure to dangerous materials, COSHH compliance is non-negotiable for businesses.

Effective since 2002, the COSHH regulations require employers to assess risks, implement control measures, and ensure employees are safeguarded from chemicals, dust, vapours, and other hazardous agents.

Failure to adhere to COSHH can result in severe legal, financial, and health repercussions, including unlimited fines and significant operational disruptions. Both employers and employees have responsibilities under COSHH, emphasising a collective approach to maintaining a safe work environment.

For self-employed individuals, COSHH applies with specific exceptions around monitoring and health surveillance.

Ensuring your team is COSHH compliant fulfils legal obligations, protects health, improves productivity, and upholds your business’s reputation.
