Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Online Course
Understand how to identify, assess, and control exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace with this CPD accredited COSHH training course. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) place a legal duty on employers to protect employees from the health risks associated with hazardous substances, and this course ensures that staff at all levels understand their responsibilities. You will learn about the different types of hazardous substances you may encounter at work — including chemicals, dust, fumes, vapours, and biological agents — and the health effects that exposure can cause, from skin irritation and respiratory conditions to long-term occupational diseases. The course covers how to carry out COSHH risk assessments, understand workplace exposure limits, select and use appropriate control measures including personal protective equipment (PPE), and follow correct procedures for the safe storage, handling, and disposal of hazardous materials. You will also learn about the requirements for health surveillance and the importance of maintaining accurate records. COSHH training is relevant across a wide range of industries including hospitality, healthcare, cleaning, manufacturing, construction, and laboratory work. Upon completion, you will receive a CPD accredited certificate that demonstrates your competence in managing hazardous substance risks — recognised by employers and health and safety inspectors across the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 require employers to protect workers from hazardous substances, and that includes giving them suitable information, instruction, and training. COSHH training is the standard way employers meet that duty for anyone who works with chemicals, dust, fumes, or other hazardous substances.
There is no fixed legal expiry. The Health and Safety Executive expects refresher training whenever the work changes, a new substance is introduced, or an assessment shows knowledge has slipped. Many employers run a refresher every one to three years to stay current.
Anyone who works with or near substances hazardous to health: cleaners using chemicals, kitchen and catering staff, warehouse and manufacturing workers, hairdressers, care staff handling disinfectants, and the managers who write the assessments.
COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. The course covers how to identify hazardous substances, read safety data sheets and hazard labels, follow a COSHH assessment, use control measures and protective equipment, and respond if something goes wrong.
