This training provides the learner with an understanding of the key elements of both COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) and DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations), refreshing their knowledge on the things that should be considered when working with substances that present COSHH and DSEAR hazards.

This is a discussion-based refresher session. It is aimed at helping people to continue working safely and effectively with chemicals, through the sharing and discussion of methods of working that promote best practice. Following the discussion led session, the facilitator will summarise the key points from the course through a set of framing slides.
