Overview

Controlling Hazardous Substances Before They Cause Harm
Hazardous substances are present in far more workplaces than many employees realise. Cleaning products, chemicals, dusts, fumes, vapours, and other materials can create avoidable health risks when they are not identified, assessed, or controlled properly. This introduction to COSHH gives staff a practical route into understanding those risks and the legal framework designed to manage them. The course translates the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 into relevant workplace action. Learners examine what counts as a hazardous substance, the health effects that may follow exposure, how COSHH risk assessments are approached, and how safety procedures and hazard symbols help prevent harm.
Why this Training Matters for your Organisation
Effective COSHH management is a core part of responsible operations. Failures in this area can lead to ill health, absenteeism, disruption, investigation, and non-compliance. Giving employees a clear understanding of hazards and controls helps organisations reduce exposure at source, make safer choices in routine work, and demonstrate that health protection is being managed with proper care rather than left to assumption.
Who Should Attend
This course is suited to:
  • Employees who use, handle, store, or work near substances that may pose a risk to health.
  • Supervisors and managers who need to support safe working practices and COSHH compliance.
  • Staff who require an accessible introduction to hazardous-substance awareness and risk assessment.

Certification, CPD, and Records

Developed by professionals and authorized by CPD, this course provides a standard record of introductory COSHH learning. Employers can use certificates and completion information to support training matrices, health-and-safety records, compliance monitoring, and workforce-development activity.

Course Content and Learning Outcomes

The programme provides a practical introduction to COSHH responsibilities, including:

  • The purpose of the COSHH Regulations 2002 and why compliance matters in the workplace.
  • How to identify hazardous substances and distinguish between different types of exposure risk.
  • The potential health effects associated with hazardous substances.
  • How COSHH risk assessments, safety procedures, and hazard symbols are used to control risk.

Duration and Delivery

The training is completed online over approximately 2 to 3 hours. Its self-directed format allows staff to engage with key COSHH principles without the scheduling demands of face-to-face delivery, making it suitable for deployment across varied work patterns and locations. Moreover, the course is flexible enough to allow for modifications to materials and even title.

Assessment and Completion

At the end of the course, learners take a 20-question multiple-choice test. An 80% pass mark is necessary. Results are marked automatically and displayed without delay. Pupils may retake the test as many times as required, with no added expense.

Team and Company Bookings

If COSHH awareness is needed across a department or wider workforce, corporate access provides a straightforward way to assign the course and review completion centrally. It can help organisations establish a more consistent baseline for hazardous-substance awareness across teams and sites.
