COSHH Control of substances hazardous to health (1989)

Substances dangerous to health are labelled: Very toxic Toxic harmful Irritant or Corrosive

This generally applies to cleaning chemicals . All cleaning chemicals should be stored in a separate place, and locked - so, they usually have their own cupboard. Each chemical should have their own COSHH details, which should be clearly displayed & accessible, should there be an accident. It is also important that people are familiar with the symbols used on products. It may be necessary to wear protective clothing: Goggles, gloves, face masker, rubber aprons, arm protectors etc.

Answer the following questions: What does RIDDOR stand for? Name one accident that should be reported. Name one disease that should be reported. Name one dangerous occurrence that should be reported. What does COSHH stand for? How should cleaning chemicals be safely stored? Give 3 examples of protective clothing.
