Working with substances is common in many workplaces. These workplaces include anything from cleaning to construction. As a part of good health and safety management the employer is responsible for undertaking a risk assessment and implementing appropriate controls. These controls may include providing appropriate training. A regulated qualification is the ideal way of demonstrating a commitment to effective training, delivered by competent providers.
Each learner should successfully be assessed against the assessment criterion outlined below.
Hazardous substances are present in far more workplaces than many people realise. From cleaning products and maintenance materials to substances generated during everyday work activities, effective controls rely on employees understanding the precautions expected of them.
The Level 2 Award in Principles of COSHH (RQF) provides a recognised qualification for organisations wanting to strengthen workplace awareness and promote safer working practices.
At SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, we deliver COSHH training in a straightforward and practical way. Our focus is on helping learners relate the principles of the qualification to situations they are likely to encounter in their own workplace.
This course is ideal for organisations looking for more than basic awareness training.
Learners work towards a Level 2 regulated qualification, providing evidence that they have undertaken structured training and demonstrated their understanding of the principles covered.
With approximately 4 guided learning hours, the course can normally be delivered within half a day, making it an effective option for businesses looking to provide recognised training without taking employees away from their normal duties for an extended period.
Effective COSHH management depends on more than paperwork.
Employees need to understand the precautions that have been put in place and recognise the importance of following workplace procedures correctly.
Good training can help organisations:
The course can therefore form an important part of an organisation’s wider health and safety training programme.
We believe employees learn more when they can see how training relates to their actual job.
Throughout the course, our instructors use practical examples and workplace situations to help learners connect the principles being discussed with activities they may carry out every day.
For company bookings, we can also discuss your workplace activities before delivery so that, where appropriate, relevant examples can be incorporated into the training.
This makes the learning more meaningful and helps employees understand how good COSHH practices contribute to protecting themselves, their colleagues and others who may be affected by their work.
The Level 2 Award in Principles of COSHH is particularly well suited to in-house delivery.
SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd can deliver the course directly at your workplace, allowing you to train a group of employees together while reducing travel time and disruption.
In-house training also gives your employees the opportunity to discuss situations that are directly relevant to your organisation.
This can be particularly useful for businesses operating within:
Assessment is completed through multiple-choice questions, allowing learners to demonstrate their understanding of the principles covered during the training.
Our instructors will explain the assessment process clearly and support learners throughout the course.
At SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, our approach is simple: make health and safety training useful.
We avoid unnecessary jargon and focus on explaining workplace health and safety in a way that employees can understand and apply.
When you train with us, you can expect:
We want learners to leave with more than a certificate. We want them to understand why good COSHH practices matter and how their own actions contribute to a safer workplace.
Whether you need to train one employee or a larger team, SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd can help you arrange suitable COSHH training.
For organisations, we can discuss group delivery and arrange training at your own premises where suitable.

The Level 2 COSHH course provides learners with an understanding of how hazardous substances can affect health and how exposure can be controlled in the workplace.
The course is suitable for employees who work with, handle or may be exposed to hazardous substances as part of their job.
COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health.
COSHH regulations require employers to assess the risks associated with hazardous substances and put suitable control measures in place to protect employees and others who may be affected.
The course is suitable for anyone who works with or may be exposed to hazardous substances, including:
It is also useful for anyone with responsibility for workplace health and safety.
The course helps learners understand hazardous substances and how they can affect people in the workplace.
Topics typically include identifying hazardous substances, routes of entry into the body, health effects, COSHH assessments, control measures, safe storage, personal protective equipment and what to do if something goes wrong.
COSHH can apply to many substances found in workplaces, including chemicals, cleaning products, fumes, dusts, vapours, gases, mists and biological agents.
A substance does not necessarily have to look dangerous to present a health risk, which is why suitable assessments and controls are important.
A COSHH risk assessment looks at the hazardous substances being used or produced in the workplace, who could be exposed and how that exposure could occur.
The assessment should then identify suitable measures to prevent exposure or reduce it to an acceptable level.
A Safety Data Sheet provides important information about a hazardous product, including its hazards, handling requirements and emergency information.
A COSHH assessment considers how that substance is actually being used within your workplace and the risks that this creates.
A Safety Data Sheet can therefore help inform a COSHH assessment, but it does not replace one.
Employees who work with hazardous substances need suitable information, instruction and training so that they understand the risks and the control measures they are expected to follow.
COSHH training can help employees understand why procedures are in place rather than simply being told to follow them.
No. COSHH covers much more than bottled chemicals.
It can include substances such as dust, fumes, vapours, gases, biological agents and substances generated during workplace activities.
This means COSHH can apply across a wide range of industries and workplaces.
Employers have responsibility for assessing and controlling risks from hazardous substances.
Employees also have an important role to play by following the controls and procedures that have been put in place, using equipment correctly and reporting any concerns or defects.
