Overview

Competent COSHH assessments from your own data sheets

COSHH Assessment Training takes delegates through the process of completing COSHH assessments using their own substances and safety data sheets. The course covers the legislation, the assessment process, control measures including PPE, and practical assessment work. Delivered on-site at your premises so examples are drawn from your own chemicals, processes and existing documentation. A closed course allows tailoring to your organisation's activities and procedures.

Process

Three steps to a certified team

Pick the course, confirm a date, and we run the training. Every delegate leaves with a certificate - clear booking, clear agenda, no admin chase.

01

Scoped to your substances

Opus reviews your substance inventory and existing COSHH documentation ahead of delivery. Examples used in training are drawn from your own safety data sheets, so the practical session produces live, usable assessments.
