“Using chemicals
or other hazardous
substances at work
can put people’s
health at risk,
so the law requires
employers to control
exposure to hazardous
substances to prevent
ill health. They
have to protect
both employees and
others who may be
exposed by complying
with the Control
of Substances Hazardous
to Health Regulations
2002 (COSHH) (as
amended)”
