JUNI 7 Potter Street Harh Circle 001 for further information ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY The COSHH Regulations A Practical Guide Edited by D. Simpson and W. G. Simpson Principal Consultants Analysis for lndustry The COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations are the most significant health and safety legislation since the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Chemists are one of the largest professional groups to be affected by these regulations and this new book provides a definitive guide to their implications and implementation.The Regulations apply to employers in every walk of life as well as twthe self-employed and The COSHH Regulations A Practical Guide warns of the penalties that will follow any harm to employees or the general public.
