What is a Hazardous Substance?
  • Any substance or mixture of substances which has
    the potential to cause harm
  • Something used directly in the workplace e.g.
    cleaning materials/chemicals
  • Something generated by a work activity e.g. wood
    dust from sanding
  • Any product with hazard label

COSHH Slide 3

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations (COSHH) 2002
  • The key legislation which explains the legal
    requirements for employers in order to ensure
    that they protect their employees and others from
    the harmful effects of substances used at work
  • Chemical substances classified as hazardous
    require specific controls

COSHH Slide 4

Identifying Hazardous Substances
  • The CHIP classification
  • The Chemicals (Hazards Information and Packaging
    for Supply) Regulations
  • Look for the symbol on the label of the product
  • (The aim of CHIP is to ensure that people who
    are supplied with chemicals receive the
    information they need to protect themselves,
    others and the environment)
  • It is the duty of the supplier to ensure that the
    product is labelled correctly

Storing Chemicals Safely

Using Chemicals Safely
