Who does COSHH apply to?
The duties under COSHH apply to employers and to the self-employed, except ‘); //–> in limited circumstances. Where a duty is placed by the regulations on an employer in respect of his employees, the employer is, so far as reasonably practicable, under a like duty towards any other person, whether at work or not, who may be affected by the work carried out by the employer. Therefore, consideration must be given to contractors, agency or mobile workers, visitors, members of the public and members of the emergency services. Some duties under COSHH specifically apply to employees.
