A one day short course designed to strengthen your understanding of the bureaucratic aspects involved in COSHH Compliance when dealing with different bulk materials
10 December 2026
Venue: Nether Langwith, Notts
Presenter: Dr Atul Sharma
Short Course
There are many COSHH training courses available, so what makes this one different?
Answer: Its focus is specifically on the COSHH issues associated with bulk solid materials; powders, particulates, granules and dust; relating COSHH requirements to the practical realities of bulk solids handling operations.
****************************************************************************
This interactive course combines in-depth instruction and presenter-led worked examples with a participatory session in which delegates will actively apply the COSHH assessment process.
Working in small groups, delegates will complete an assessment of a realistic bulk solids handling operation using information provided about the material, process and working conditions, with guidance from the presenters throughout.
Subjects covered
- Purpose of a COSHH Assessment
- Dust Generation and Control in Powder Handling
- COSHH Statutory Framework and DSEAR
- Carrying Out a COSHH Assessment
- Inhalable and Respirable Dust Fractions
- High-Hazard Dusts
- Reading and Using Safety Data Sheets
- Identifying Routes of Exposure
- Grouping Materials and Streamlining Assessments
- Building a COSHH Assessment – Practical Exercise
- COSHH vs Equipment Risk Assessments
- Reviewing and Maintaining Assessments
Is this for me?
Where work with bulk solids, powders or dust exposes people to substances hazardous to health, COSHH places a legal duty on employers to assess the risks and prevent or adequately control that exposure. Compliance is therefore not simply good practice; it is a legal responsibility. Therefore Maintenance, Management, Operatives, Health and Safety professionals, Commissioning Engineers and Plant Designers who have this responsibility are recommended to attend this course.
