A one-day, in-company course that equips delegates with the knowledge and practical skills to carry out effective workplace COSHH assessments with confidence.
COSHH assessor training equips delegates to carry out workplace COSHH assessments: gathering hazard data, judging exposure against the limits, and choosing the controls that reduce the risk. KeyOstas delivers it as a one-day in-company course, assessed by a short multiple-choice test.
It is for the people who will carry out COSHH assessments for the organisation.
By the end of the 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 and the forms of chemical attack on the body.
Describe the main routes by which a substance enters and is absorbed by the body.
Explain the nature of occupational exposure limits and control limits.
Collect the hazard data needed to make a COSHH assessment.
Develop and use a simple risk-assessment model for a range of hazardous substances.
Outline control strategies, including dilution and local exhaust ventilation and the right use of PPE.
Carry out and record an effective workplace COSHH assessment.
