C.I.E.H. Principles of COSHH Certificate

Principles of Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) is a stand-alone level 1 qualification, which complements the CIEH Basic Health and Safety programme. It is aimed at those who use substances hazardous to health at work and introduces students to the hazards associated with those substances, the risks and controls available and what to expect from a COSHH assessment. Successful completion will prepare students to look carefully at their own work activities and contribute to the safer use of hazardous substances in co-operation with their managers and supervisors. While this unit of study can be delivered as a stand-alone qualification and there are no specific pre-requisites, it is strongly recommended that students should already hold the CIEH Basic Health and Safety Certificate. Topic areas covered: Definition and types of substances hazardous to health in the workplace Health effects of hazardous substances and their causes COSHH assessments and control options Responsibilities imposed by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002
