About
Laboratory Chemical Safety and COSHH provides a practical and advanced overview of the principles, practices, controls, and regulatory expectations required to safely manage hazardous chemicals and substances in laboratory environments.
This Laboratory Chemical Safety and COSHH course provides in-depth knowledge of chemical hazard identification, COSHH risk assessment, chemical classification and labelling, safety data sheets, exposure routes, workplace exposure risks, safe chemical handling, storage and segregation, engineering controls, local exhaust ventilation, fume cupboards, personal protective equipment, chemical spill response, emergency procedures, chemical waste management, decontamination, first aid, incident reporting, health surveillance, exposure monitoring, and control measure verification. The course also covers the practical application of COSHH requirements, including risk-based selection of control measures, documentation, employee training, emergency planning, regulatory compliance, inspection readiness, and regular review of hazardous substance controls. Learners will develop the practical knowledge required to identify chemical hazards, assess exposure risks, implement appropriate control measures, respond effectively to chemical incidents, and maintain safe, compliant laboratory operations. Upon successful completion, learners receive a certification demonstrating their understanding and practical application of laboratory chemical safety and COSHH requirements.
