We are sure that you are familiar with the Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) and have undoubtedly heard of the COSHH regulations but what do they actually mean to you?
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, most recently consolidated in 2002, are the main piece of legislation covering control of the risks to employees and other people, arising from exposure to harmful substances generated out of, or in connection with, any work activity under the employer’s control.
As with all other regulations building on the H&S at Work Act, legal duties under COSHH are laid primarily on employers. It is their duty of care to see that proper systems of work and management are in place and that the exposure of employees to hazardous substances is either prevented or adequately controlled.
If you fail to adequately control hazardous substances and as a result someone falls ill, the following may occur: lost productivity to your business; liable to enforcement action, including prosecution under the COSHH regulations; civil claims.
Controlling hazardous substances can lead to: improved productivity + employee morale.
