Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999 (COSHH)

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999 requires a suitable and sufficient assessment of work involving hazardous substances. The assessment should identify all hazardous substances, the risks posed, outline appropriate precautions, prevent or adequately control exposure and ensure that controls are used and maintained. Employees must also be properly informed, trained and supervised.
