Course Overview

This comprehensive Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Training course provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for managing chemical hazards and protecting worker health in workplace environments. The course covers fundamental chemical safety principles along with proven techniques for hazard identification, risk assessment, and exposure control measures.


Participants will learn to apply OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 Hazard Communication Standard, Globally Harmonized System (GHS) classification, REACH regulation requirements, and ACGIH TLV guidelines to implement effective chemical management programs while ensuring regulatory compliance and worker protection. This course combines chemical safety theory with hands-on application and real-world workplace scenarios to ensure participants gain valuable skills applicable to their professional environment while emphasizing prevention and health protection.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Understand fundamental COSHH principles and chemical hazard classification systems

  • Apply systematic risk assessment methodologies for hazardous substance exposure

  • Implement hierarchy of controls and exposure prevention measures

  • Execute proper handling, storage, and disposal procedures for hazardous chemicals

  • Develop emergency response and spill management protocols

  • Design health surveillance and monitoring programs for chemical exposure

  • Apply personal protective equipment selection and respiratory protection systems

  • Establish COSHH compliance and documentation requirements for regulatory adherence
