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 training is designed to teach people about hazardous substances, as outlined by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH).

It’s purpose is to provide you with knowledge and understanding to stay safe when working with hazardous substances.

There is no set criterion for COSHH refresher training. However, 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

Beyond this, we recommend refresher training every three years to ensure that knowledge is fresh and is in line with current regulations and thinking.
