About this course
Dust is everywhere. At home, it’s usually no more than an unsightly reminder that we need to get out the feather duster. Household dust is usually no more than a nuisance, at worst aggravating people’s allergies but, in certain work environments, dust can be downright dangerous.
Whether somebody works in a naturally dusty environment or whether dust is created by the work they do, there are certain risks that they could faceby spending a workday surrounded by these tiny floating particles.
This Dust Awareness Training course teaches users how to identify the different kinds of dust, the dangers they pose, and what they can do to stay safe. The course can be completed in just 30 minutes and provides a printable certificate upon completion.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Employers have a legal responsibility to keep their employees safe when they’re at work - whether that's onsite or working elsewhere. This includes identifying, assessing, controlling, and regularly reviewing health risks posed to every employee.
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations, or COSHH, places a duty on your employer to keep staff safe from dangerous chemicals and substances, including dust. Their responsibilities include:
- Carrying out a risk assessment
- Preventing or controlling exposure to hazardous substances
- Giving employees the right information, instruction, and training
- Providing appropriate protective equipment, where necessary
- Making sure control measures are used and properly maintained
- Creating plans and procedures to deal with accidents and emergencies involving hazardous substances
- Providing health surveillance to employees exposed to hazardous substances, and
- Keeping hazardous substances below the Workplace Exposure Limit
