This document provides information on COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002) and a zone control system for safety. It explains that COSHH requires employers to control exposure to hazardous substances to protect health. The zone control system divides a premises into 9 colored zones to help organize safety measures like fire safety, risk assessments, equipment handling, and more. It aims to implement the 8 basic COSHH measures through a systematic approach to managing hazards and risks.
