What Is COSHH and Why Does It Matter?
COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. These regulations protect workers from dangerous substances. Furthermore, they’ve been law since 2002.
Every construction site uses hazardous substances. Paint contains volatile organic compounds. Cement dust causes respiratory problems. Additionally, solvents release toxic vapors.
Consequently, COSHH compliance isn’t optional. It’s a legal requirement. Moreover, non-compliance carries severe penalties.
