Hazardous Substances Course

Using chemicals or other hazardous substances at work can put people’s health at risk, causing diseases including asthma, dermatitis or cancer. In addition there are also biological hazards that can cause harm to workers.

Every year, thousands of workers are made ill by hazardous substances, contracting a range of diseases or conditions that costs organisations many millions of pounds each year and affects the quality of life of individuals.

Employers are responsible for taking effective measures to control exposures to biological hazards, chemicals and hazardous substances and to protect workers health. The primary piece of legislation relating to chemicals and hazardous substances is the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulation (COSHH).

In the Regulations and guidance there is a requirement to involve employees and to train, instruct and inform them about their responsibilities and involvement in the assessment process, the findings of assessments and the use of control measures.

The course just doesn’t focus on chemicals but includes how hazardous substances can occur, the risks from Bio-Hazards and causes of Dermatitis.
