Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) plays a vital role in protecting workers from harmful chemicals, fumes, dust, and biological agents in the workplace.
Exposure to hazardous substances can cause serious health risks such as respiratory illness, skin disorders, poisoning, and long-term occupational diseases.
Effective COSHH risk assessment helps identify chemical hazards and implement proper control measures to reduce exposure. Using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), safe storage, correct labelling, and employee training significantly minimizes workplace health risks.
Strong COSHH compliance ensures a safer working environment, improved occupational health, and reduced incidents.
