This course has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Health and Safety Adviser, Victoria Swift, for the attention of all Schools in Slough. This course is for all managers and staff with delegated responsibility to oversee the systems and procedures for managing chemical and biological hazards within their work environment.
This course covers systems and procedures rather than practical implementation. NB: There is a separate course that covers practical implementation called COSHH For Users.
By the end of the course you will:
- Be aware of the legislation that deals with the control of substances that are hazardous to health (chemical and biological),
- Understand the terms associated with the use of chemicals,
- Understand the purpose of material safety data sheets,
- Be able to carry out a COSHH risk assessment and to be able to determine appropriate control measures, and
- Understand the purpose and benefits of health surveillance, monitoring and immunisation.
