So what do we mean by ‘Substances Hazardous to Health’?
In legal terms, these are substances that are classified as “very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive or Irritant” under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP). This was a new regulation that came into force in January 2009 dovetailing with a set of regulations called REACH. REACH is a European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, which came into force on 1st June 2007. One of the main aims of REACH is to provide a high level of protection for human health and the environment from the use of chemicals.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to define substances hazardous to health under CLP, identify common workplace hazards, understand the purpose of COSHH, explain how CLP and REACH work together, understand key responsibilities for managing exposure, recognise the need for risk assessments, and apply safe practices to reduce risks.
