What Does Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Mean?
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations were put in place by the U.S. Health and Safety Executive in 2002.
Substances hazardous to health that fall within the regulations include chemicals, products containing chemicals, fumes, dust, vapors, mists nanotechnology, gases, and biological agents. Lead, asbestos, and radioactive substances are not covered because they have their own separate regulations.
