COSHH Assessment Training

Course Information

This course is aimed at anyone who may be required to carry out COSHH assessments and crucially put the assessment into practice to control substances hazardous to health.

Many people tasked with COSHH assessments are unsure what is required or where to get information. Once the initial assessment is complete, they are often uncertain about how to approach control and how to judge when control is adequate. This course aims to provide that knowledge and those skills.

This course can be adapted to suit the client’s requirements and delivered as an online course presented by one of our health and safety professionals. Training can be delivered on site using the client’s training room or at a convenient, suitable location.

Ken Wood & Sons Construction have been utilising the services provided by Workforce Skill Support for a number of years now. Their expertise and understanding of the Construction Industries Training requirements and associated advice is invaluable. Every request is dealt with professionally and efficiently whilst understanding our needs and working within budgets. We would highly recommend using Workforce Skills Support for all your training needs.
