Level 2 Award in COSHH Principles | E-Learning Course
Managing hazardous substances safely is a vital legal duty under UK law. The COSHH Regulations 2002 require employers to control exposure to harmful materials. This rule applies across cleaning, catering, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. Having a folder of safety data sheets is simply not enough to protect staff.
True compliance requires team members who understand workplace risks. Managers must also know how to assess hazards and implement solid controls. This Ofqual-accredited Level 2 qualification provides exactly that framework. It delivers practical skills to maintain a safe working environment.
What You Will Learn
Our comprehensive e-learning curriculum balances statutory regulations with practical field application. The scannable modules cover these essential topics:
- The COSHH Framework: Reviewing employer obligations and employee duties under the 2002 regulations.
- Hazard Identification: Defining chemicals, dusts, fumes, and biological agents that cause harm.
- Assessment Steps: Mastering the eight core steps to complete an effective risk evaluation.
- Exposure Limits: Understanding Workplace Exposure Limits and how they guide your control decisions.
- Body Entry Routes: Exploring how hazardous substances enter the human body through inhalation or ingestion.
