COSHH Assessor Course FAQs
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) require employers to assess the risks from hazardous substances in the workplace and implement appropriate control measures. Employers must identify all substances that could harm health, assess the risk of exposure, implement controls (following the hierarchy of control), monitor exposure, and provide health surveillance where required. Failure to comply can result in HSE enforcement action, improvement notices, and prosecution.Duration
