COSHH Awareness Course

COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) refers to the measures used to protect people from the risks associated with hazardous substances in the workplace. These substances can include chemicals, cleaning products, disinfectants, bodily fluids, medicines, clinical waste and other materials that may cause harm through exposure. Understanding these risks is important for reducing avoidable exposure and promoting safer working practices.

Our Continuous Professional Development COSHH Awareness Course provides learners with a practical understanding of how hazardous substances can affect health and how risks can be identified and controlled. The course explores common hazards, routes of exposure, COSHH symbols, safety information, risk assessment, PPE, and the safe handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances. It also introduces appropriate responses to accidents, incidents and emergencies involving hazardous substances.


Designed for people who may encounter hazardous substances as part of their work, the course is particularly relevant to roles across healthcare, cleaning, domestic, maintenance and support environments. Learners will develop greater awareness of potential hazards and the precautions that can help reduce exposure, supporting safer day-to-day practices when working with or around hazardous substances. With 24/7 expert support available throughout your learning and a 14-day money-back guarantee, you can study with added guidance and complete peace of mind while learning with us.
