This half day COSHH course covers both theoretical and practical training. This includes how to assess and undertake a COSHH risk assessment whilst taking into account all of the other documentation and information available. You will look at both everyday products an more hazardous compounds and substances. The course will also identify the importance of assessing both the items that you and others may bring onto your site/premises and what others will have delivered and use on your site.

The COSHH Awareness Course will give you an understanding of related legislation such as; HASWA 1974, COSHH Regulations (1988) amended 2002, EH40 (2005 Workplace Exposure Limits – WEL), Personal Protective Equipment Regulations (1992) and COSH – a brief guide (indigo 136 – Rev 5) – a downloadable pamphlet.

The practical use of control measures, monitoring of exposure, health surveillance, arrangements to deal with accidents/incidents and emergencies, can all be a very low risk in your business or it may be extremely important given the nature of your company’s work. There may be a need to understand such concerns regarding carcinogenic substances and to have. basic understanding of how to assess and manage complex chemical storage and usage. Alternatively it may be important to understand naturally occurring hazards. If you have a more complex site or site activities, it’s recommended that you speak to the centre and can advise if this course is suitable and sufficient or if a more detailed course is required – which is available. Your choice of course should in every case give the attendees a basic level of competence (skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications).

Description

Course Overview

This half-day COSHH Awareness course focuses on the basic understanding of the COSHH regulations. It will also develop your ability to successfully risk assess the chemicals or naturally occurring substances and/or compounds on your site, or place of work. 

The step by step overview will ensure that you have a basic competence to undertake the review using all of the associated documentation and information. On completion you will also be able to detail any further recommendations, outstanding actions, additional training and future control measures. It will provide a standard level of competency, but equally should identify your limitations too and where additional guidance, support and knowledge should be sought. If your site or place of work utilises or stores very hazardous, highly complex chemicals, then again, a more in-depth course would be recommended.
