Health and Safety Training

COSHH Awareness Training Course introduces learners to the essential principles of safely working with hazardous substances in the workplace. The course explains what COSHH is, why it matters, and how to recognise the risks associated with chemicals, fumes, dusts, biological agents, and other potentially harmful materials.

Participants learn how hazardous substances can affect health, how exposure happens, and what steps can be taken to reduce risk. The course also covers the purpose of Safety Data Sheets (SDS), the meaning of hazard symbols, and the importance of effective workplace control measures such as ventilation, PPE, and safe storage.

Through clear guidance and practical examples, learners gain a solid understanding of how to follow COSHH procedures, report concerns, and support a safer working environment.
