COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. It is a regulation that has been put in place to protect all members of staff and is especially important in schools. This is done by ensuring that all harmful substances are monitored, secured, and out of reach of children.
Not only is COSHH important in schools, but it’s also important in other organisations that work with hazardous substances. Dangerous substances that can be found in schools include aerosols, bleach, petrol, diesel and more.
