About this course

What the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) course covers

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) runs online from start to finish, so you decide when you study and how much you cover at a time. The material comes as 10 modules and takes about 125 minutes end to end. There is no clock on it, so a week off in the middle changes nothing.

The course works through Introducing COSHH , Different Types of Hazard, Different Types of Exposure and Regulations and Approved Labelling. There are 6 further modules beyond those, listed in full on the Modules tab.

The provider grades it intermediate, so it moves through the fundamentals quickly rather than teaching them. We list 19 Workplace Safety courses, of which 9 sit at Intermediate. Its study time is about mid-range for the subject. The course is CPD accredited, so the time counts towards a CPD record, and your certificate is available to download as soon as you finish.

Worth knowing before you buy: It is not an awareness course: if the subject is completely new to you, something introductory will be better value.

Buyer guide

Is this the right course for you?

Best fit

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) is a sensible shortlist choice when you want a structured route through the published syllabus rather than a general overview of the whole subject. Its 10-module plan starts with Introducing COSHH and Different Types of Hazard, which gives you a clear indication of the assumed starting point. That shape is likely to be most useful for site and warehouse staff, supervisors and safety representatives whose training need matches those topics. It is a weaker fit if you only need one isolated skill, or if an employer has specified a different standard, awarding body or practical assessment. Before buying, compare that requirement with the final modules on Training and Emergency Planning and Course Summary as well as the course title.

How to use the syllabus

Treat the module list as a study plan, not just a contents page. Begin with Introducing COSHH and Different Types of Hazard and note any terms or processes you need to revisit. Around the middle, Assessing COSHH Risks acts as a useful checkpoint: if you can explain that material without looking back, move on; if not, repeat the preceding section before adding more. The later work on Training and Emergency Planning and Course Summary is where you can test whether the earlier ideas connect. After each block, write a short example from your own work or a realistic scenario. That simple retrieval step makes self-paced learning more useful than clicking straight through to completion.

Check before enrolling

The listed study time is 125 minutes; reserve more time if the subject is new to you or you plan to make detailed notes. No fixed access period is stated in the validated course facts; ask us before enrolling if a deadline matters to your plans. A downloadable or printable completion certificate is described, but it records course completion rather than replacing a regulated qualification. The course carries a CPD accreditation reference; still check that your employer or professional body accepts this exact course for the purpose you have in mind.

Course Description

This course covers what you need to know about the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH). It’s aimed at anyone who is exposed to Substances Hazardous to Health at work, as well as line managers with responsibility for such people.

So what do we mean by ‘Substances Hazardous to Health’?

In legal terms, these are substances that are classified as “very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive or Irritant” under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP). This was a new regulation that came into force in January 2009 dovetailing with a set of regulations called REACH. REACH is a European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, which came into force on 1st June 2007. One of the main aims of REACH is to provide a high level of protection for human health and the environment from the use of chemicals.
