A half-day, in-company course that makes your team aware of the hazards and risks of the substances they work with, and how to stay safe around them.
COSHH awareness training makes staff aware of the hazardous substances they work with: the health risks, how those substances harm the body, and the controls and protective equipment that keep them safe. KeyOstas delivers it as a half-day in-company course.
It is for the people who use or work near hazardous substances.
By the end of the half day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Outline the legal requirements for the control of hazardous substances, including COSHH and the PPE duties.
Describe the main types of occupational health risk.
Describe the main forms of chemical attack on the body and the routes of entry into it.
Recognise the hazard information on labels under the CLP Regulations.
Outline the control strategies for hazardous substances and biological agents.
Describe the types of protective equipment and when personal protective equipment is appropriate.
Understand, in plain terms, what an occupational exposure limit is.
Understand the basics of controlling a spillage safely.
A focused half day on recognising and controlling hazardous substances.
Practical, instructor-led training, with no written exam.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers the session at your premises, and your own substances can be used.
Understanding is checked through discussion rather than a formal exam.
Every delegate receives a KeyOstas certificate of attendance on completion.
