COSHH
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 are designed
to protect people against risks to their health arising from exposure to hazardous substances
during their working activities. These regulations detail steps to be taken by the employer. Principally they are:
-
Assess the risk to health arising from exposure to hazardous substances at work
and identify appropriate precautions.
-
Introduce appropriate measures to prevent or control the risks.
-
Ensure that control measures are used, equipment is properly maintained
and procedures are followed.
-
Where necessary, monitor the exposure of workers and carry out health surveillance.
-
Inform and train employees with regard to the risks and the precautions to be taken.
Singleton Associates will undertake C.O.S.H.H. audits and risk assessments. We will set up your COSHH systems including assessing chemicals, organising COSHH data sheets
and suggesting control measures to protect your workforce from exposure to chemicals thus complying with the legislation.
We also offer a short 3-4 hour course in basic COSHH training.
