Course Description
Course description
The COSHH course identifies risks presented by different substances. COSHH training candidates learn about dangerous chemical types including corrosive / acidic, flammable or explosive substances. Absorption through skin and inhalation of air born chemicals are risks that can potentially go unnoticed by an untrained employee. Training on how hazardous chemicals infiltrate and affect the human body will allow individuals to identify a hazard, make an informed decision and achieve greater control of dangerous substances through their own heightened awareness.
Candidates on the COSHH training course will gain an understanding of current legislation for the control of hazardous materials, legal obligations for storage and handling to protect employees and maintain a safe working environment.
COSHH training course candidates will not handle any substances during training but learn the principles of basic handling techniques and control options to a Level 2 standard to include proper storage, the use of protective clothing and restricted access for controlled substances hazardous to health. The COSHH course outlines what to expect from a COSHH assessment and prepares employees to contribute to the safer use of hazardous substances in their workplace.

Frequently asked questions
- Can we include our company risk assessments in COSHH training?
- Yes, if you send your company risk assessments over to us prior to training then the trainer assessor will be able to include these in the training.
- We only encounter a limited range of hazardous substances in our workplace. Can we address just those which we encounter?
- The COSHH course focuses on types of hazardous substance i.e. dusts and fumes, as opposed to individual substances such as paints and brake fluids. This allows the knowledge of what a hazardous substance is or could be to extend beyond the examples drawn upon during training.
However, if you notify Didac prior to training of the chemicals you use and their applications within your organisation, then the trainer assessor can tailor the course to include specific reference, advice and guidance for your staff.
