Industrial diseases are debilitating. They shorten lives and make normal living difficult. But complying with the COSHH regulations will help to prevent occupational ill-health. Under these regulations, it’s important to identify hazardous substances, evaluate their health risk and reduce any risks through engineering controls and PPE.
