Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)

ETD’s COSHH training will show you how to uphold safety when working with hazardous substances. 

 Every year, over 13,000 people die from an industrial disease caused by inhaling fumes and dust. Thousands more fall ill with cancer, asthma, emphysema, dermatitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
