Learn to Manage Hazardous Substances and Ensure Workplace Compliance
COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) training equips employees and duty holders with the knowledge and skills to identify hazardous substances, assess risks, and put effective control measures in place. Proper COSHH training is essential to protect staff, comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), and maintain a safe working environment. Every course on this page is advertised and delivered by an established, accredited UK training provider.
