Control of Substances Hazardous to Health - COSHH

The law requires all companies to comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), this is to protect both employees and others who may be exposed to hazardous substances at work which can put people’s health at risk.

Failure to do so can result in your company becoming liable to enforcement action including prosecution under the regulations, civil claims and lost productivity to your business.
