Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations are UK laws that ensure workplaces manage and minimize exposure to harmful substances, such as chemicals, fumes, or dust. These regulations require employers to assess risks, control exposure through safety measures, provide proper training, and monitor health to protect workers from illness or injury. COSHH aims to prevent health problems caused by hazardous substances by promoting safe handling, storage, and disposal practices in the workplace.
