COSHH risk assessment, common ill-health effects f rom working with
hazardous substances, and safe working methods.
If they are not managed carefully, working with hazardous
substances can be incredibly harmful to workers. For this
reason, there are several laws in place to control exposure to
these substances and prioritise your health and safety.

are taken into account and the risk assessment updated.
