Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations outline the mandatory requirements all businesses must follow to provide a safe and healthy working environment. Anyone who is required to use, handle, transport or work in the presence of hazardous substances of any kind should have a thorough understanding of COSHH regulations.

Open for enrolment 365 days a year, this essential health and safety course is suitable for business owners and employees in all industry sectors. Study at a time and pace to suit your existing commitments, with full tutor support available on-demand throughout.

COSHH - Learning Objectives

COSHH regulations exist to empower employers and their workers to proactively minimise the risks associated with all materials and substances with the potential to be hazardous to health. Where COSHH regulations are followed and suitable policies established, it is possible to significantly reduce the risk of people becoming unwell, injured or losing their lives due to exposure to harmful substances.

The objective of this course is to help employers and employees at all levels understand the principles of COSHH, how to ensure their business complies with them and ultimately how to safeguard people from harm - employees, guests, customers, visitors and contractors included.

Each of the seven course modules covers a different topic or knowledge or area, examining such COSHH essentials as:

  • How to identify potential health hazards
  • The importance of conducting regular risk assessments
  • Provision of safeguarding equipment to reduce risk
  • The primary principles of COSHH regulations
  • Who ultimately takes responsibility for health and safety

The benefits of a detailed understanding of COSHH regulations extend to each and every member of the workforce without exception. This COSHH course has therefore been designed with all employees at all levels in mind, from entry-level newcomers through to senior management and business owners.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
