About This Course
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.
Using this Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) course in Ireland
This online course can support Irish workplace training records for employees, supervisors, managers and contractors who need structured workplace awareness training. It is useful where an employer wants a consistent awareness module, a refresher option or a documented learning record that can be assigned to staff without arranging a classroom session.
The course should still be matched to the learner's role, the work activity, the site risk assessment and any local procedures. Online training is strongest when it is used alongside supervision, workplace instruction and practical checks where the topic involves equipment, physical tasks or site-specific controls.
Phoenix STS presents this course for Irish learners and employers. The course content, assessment requirements and completion evidence are explained on this page so employers can review them before assigning the course to staff.
This course uses UK COSHH terminology. Irish employers should treat it as useful hazardous-substance awareness and align it with Irish chemical safety duties, safety data sheets and local risk assessments.
