COSHH in the Food Industry: Online COSHH Course

Commonly used chemicals are often composed of powerful ingredients. These can cause harmful effects if used without controls e.g.

• Skin irritation and dermatitis
• Asthma from mists or dusts
• Toxic fumes
• Infection from micro-organisms
• Cancer from long exposure

Workers can also be sensitive or allergic to everyday substances e.g. sap from vegetables or flowers. All companies and businesses must train their staff to understand COSHH, and companies of 5 people or more must not only complete a COSHH assessment, but must ensure their COSHH assessment is recorded.

This COSHH Training course, accredited by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) will clarify the requirements of COSHH and is written specifically to cover the substances used in the food industry. Downloadable assessments are available for you to complete if required. This is an essential tool for every manager who is required to write a COSHH risk assessment.
