Level 2 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Training

The Level 2 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Training Course provides learners with essential knowledge and awareness of the risks associated with hazardous substances in the workplace and the measures that can be used to help control exposure and protect health. Hazardous substances can be present across many working environments and may include chemicals, cleaning products, dusts, fumes, vapours, gases, mists and biological agents. Exposure to hazardous substances can potentially cause both short-term and long-term health effects, making appropriate risk assessment and control measures an important part of workplace health and safety.
