 Hazardous
chemical substances can cause skin or eye irritations, respiratory
problems, loss of consciousness, poisoning and long term health problems
such as cancers.
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
Regulations 2002
The COSHH regulations set out standards for working with hazardous
substances, which all employers must comply with. Hazardous substances
can be materials used in production or work activities like solvents,
paints and cleaning agents. They can also be substances generated by
work, such as dust, fumes or other waste materials.
Commercially supplied chemicals which fall under the
COSHH requirements have to be labelled properly to meet with the
Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations
1994.
