What does COSHH stand for?

COSHH stands for Control OSubstances Hazardous to Health. It refers to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, which requires all employers to prevent or reduce their employees’ exposure to hazardous substances.

COSHH covers a wide range of potentially harmful substances including, but not limited to:

  • chemicals
  • products containing a mixture of substances
  • dusts
  • vapours
  • fumes
  • mists
  • gases
  • biological agents, described in the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) as being “a micro-organism, cell culture, or human endoparasite which may cause infection, allergy, toxicity or other hazards to human health”

If the packaging has any of the hazard symbols then it is classed as a hazardous substance.

How often should you do COSHH training?

There is no set criterion for COSHH refresher training. You should consider fresh training in the following circumstances:

  • If an employee or employees are required to spend longer with a particular substance, thereby increasing their exposure
  • If you have introduced new hazardous substances in the workplace
  • If there is an accident or near-miss related to substances
  • When recruiting new staff, who may have received training previously but not relating to your workplace and specific substances used

Benefits of COSHH Training
