About COSHH

COSHH requires employers to:

  • assess the risks to health from chemicals and decide what controls are needed;
  • use those controls and make sure employees use them;
  • make sure the controls are working properly;
  • inform employees about the risks to their health;
  • train employees to be aware of health risks and work with hazardous materials safely.

A fuller guide to COSHH regulations and other information is available from the Health & Safety executive.
