Online COSHH Training Course 

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002, under regulation 12, states that "every employer who undertakes work which is liable to expose an employee to a substance hazardous to health shall provide that employee with suitable and sufficient information, instruction and training." All employees have a legal responsibility to cooperate with their employer to meet their obligations.

This online COSHH course deals with how to communicate preventative and control measures to avoid harmful exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace. The course has just been updated to include the new international COSHH symbols while also showing the old symbols to compare them and ensure that the trainee understands the meaning of the new symbols that must be used in future.

Please note: This e-learning course only provides awareness education. Additional face-to-face safety training would be needed in order to gain the necessary knowledge to be able to work safely in your organisation. Contact our consultants for more information.

How Often Should COSHH Training Be Refreshed?

In the UK, it is recommended that employees receive regular refresher training on the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations at least once a year. This is to ensure that employees are aware of the latest regulations and procedures for handling hazardous substances, and that their knowledge is up to date.

However, the frequency of refresher training may vary depending on the nature of the work and the substances being handled, so it is important to assess the need for training on a case-by-case basis.
