COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health)

COSHH, or Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, is a UK regulation that helps protect people from risks related to dangerous substances like chemicals, fumes, dust, or biological agents at work. It requires employers to assess hazards, implement safety measures, and provide training to minimize exposure. The goal is to prevent health problems such as respiratory issues, allergies, or poisoning. Essentially, COSHH ensures that workplaces manage hazardous substances responsibly, keeping workers safe while maintaining productivity.
