Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

Our COSHH training will help you and your employees gain a deeper understanding of COSHH regulations and the impact that they have on your work.

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 places duties on employers to protect employees (and anyone else who comes into the workplace) from the hazards of substances used in that work environment. It requires that potential risk must be assessed; any potential exposure controlled; procedures must be put in place to deal with accidents, incidents and emergencies; and finally, that information, instruction and training must be supplied for persons who may be exposed to substances hazardous to health.

Failing to comply with HSE’s COSHH guidelines can result in prosecution, fines, and/or imprisonment. Discover our COSHH training courses to protect yourself and your workers today.
