COSHH

COSHH is an acronym for 'Control of Substances Hazardous to Health'.

It is a United Kingdom Regulation [2002] that provides a framework to help protect people in the workplace against health risks from hazardous substances. The substances may be used directly in the workplace (eg cleaning chemicals) or may arise from the work (e.g. dusts, fumes and waste products).
