The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH)

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) is a UK law that requires employers to manage and control exposure to harmful substances, such as chemicals, dust, fumes, and biological agents, to protect workers' health. Employers must identify hazards, assess the risks, and implement measures like proper storage, ventilation, and safety training to minimize health risks. The goal is to prevent illnesses caused by hazardous substances and ensure a safe working environment through effective control and regular monitoring.
