The course combines clear explanations, real-world workplace examples and short interactive checks — making sure every learner finishes with the knowledge to handle hazardous substances safely and the certificate to prove it.
Our COSHH Training course is fully RoSPA approved and CPD accredited — two of the most widely recognised UK accreditations for workplace health and safety training. The course covers the essentials of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), helping workers identify hazardous substances, understand the health risks of exposure, and apply the right control measures to keep themselves and their colleagues safe.
It's designed for anyone who handles, works near or supervises the use of substances hazardous to health — chemicals in a workshop, biological agents in a lab, dust on a construction site, fumes in a kitchen, or cleaning products in an office. In just 30 minutes, learners get the practical knowledge needed to control exposure, reduce risks and meet the legal responsibilities set out under COSHH.
Hazardous substances are present in almost every workplace — from cleaning products and salon chemicals to industrial solvents, dust, fumes and biological agents. This course equips employers and workers to:
Taking this course helps learners:
Completing this COSHH training course demonstrates a proactive approach to workplace health and safety and supports your employer's compliance with COSHH — protecting workers, reducing avoidable harm and giving inspectors and insurers the evidence they expect to see.
The course is divided into five short, interactive modules:
1. Introduction to COSHH and Hazardous Substances
2. Health Risks and Different Types of Hazards
3. The COSHH Risk Assessment in Five Steps
4. Control Measures and Reducing Exposure
5. Safe Handling, Storage and Emergency Procedures
Each module includes interactive elements and short reviews to reinforce learning and prepare you for the final assessment.
At the end of the course there is a short final assessment in multiple-choice format. You'll need 75% to pass. If you don't pass first time, retakes are completely free of charge — there's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Once you've passed, your RoSPA-approved, CPD-accredited COSHH certificate is issued instantly and is available to download and print straight from your account — ready for site inductions, audits, supplier reviews and your health and safety records.
This COSHH training course is suitable for any worker, supervisor, manager or employer who handles, supervises or works near substances hazardous to health, including:
Cleaners, caretakers and facilities staff
Warehouse, factory and laboratory workers
Construction, painting and decorating teams
Hairdressers, beauticians and salon staff
Catering, hospitality and food production employees
Healthcare, care home and veterinary staff
It's also ideal as refresher training to keep your knowledge current and your COSHH certificate up to date — and as a quick way for employers to demonstrate they've trained anyone who handles hazardous materials at work.
Yes. Our COSHH Training is RoSPA approved and CPD accredited — two of the most widely recognised UK accreditations for workplace health and safety training. Employers, insurers and inspectors accept it as suitable awareness training under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.
The course takes around 30 minutes to complete. You can pause at any time and return when it suits you — your progress is saved automatically.
Anyone who handles, works near or supervises the use of hazardous substances — chemicals, dusts, biological agents, fumes, mists or vapours. That covers a huge range of workers, from cleaners and laboratory staff to hairdressers, painters, caterers and care home employees.
COSHH awareness training (this course) gives workers and supervisors the knowledge to recognise hazards, use control measures and follow safe handling procedures. A COSHH risk assessment is a separate, written assessment the employer (or a competent person) carries out for each hazardous substance used at work. The two work together — your team understands the risks, your assessments show how you control them.
Retakes are completely free of charge. There's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Yes. A RoSPA-approved, CPD-accredited COSHH certificate is issued instantly on completion of the course and is downloadable from your account.
The certificate doesn't have an expiry date — once you've passed, it's yours. We recommend refreshing your COSHH training every 3 years, or sooner if the substances you use, the processes involved, or the people doing the work change significantly.
No. This is COSHH awareness training. Some workplaces will need additional task- or substance-specific training on top — for example, where workers use respiratory protective equipment or handle particularly hazardous chemicals. Treat this course as the foundation, and layer specific training on top where needed.
