The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) is a very important subject. It is therefore important to understand what these substances are. In this course, we provide an understanding of the substances that are, in legal terms, classified as “very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive or irritant” under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP), which came into force in January 2009.
These new regulations dovetailed with the REACH regulations from the European Union, which concern the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. The main aim of REACH is to provide a high level of protection for human health and the environment from the use of chemicals, and this course can help to provide a full understanding of the subject.
