Please note: This course has been superseded by the COSHH for Non Lab Users course and will no longer run.

This course is designed for stores operatives who are regularly receiving deliveries of chemicals and redistributing them to labs. The course will include an assessment of the suitability of spaces for receiving chemicals and a start to finish procedure. Safe storage and spill response will also be touched upon. The course is run in an informal conversational style on location in your store.

As a result of attending this course, you will:

1. Receive chemicals into stores environment
2. Identify what sorts of materials are coming in to the store
3. Work out a procedure for dealing with broken packages
4. Make recommendations to those picking up packages

Stores operatives who are receiving chemicals into their stores for redistribution. Porters, reception and workshop staff in buildings without dedicated stores may also be eligible.
