IOSH Managing Safely

Managing safely is for those required to manage safely and effectively in compliance with both their organisation's policy and best practice in Health and Safety. Managing safely comprises of seven core modules requiring a total direct input period of at least 24 hours plus assessment time. The delivery can be spread over a convenient time span. One organization-specific module may be added if required. The aim of the course is to assist delegates to w ork more safely themselves, manage safety more effectively and contribute to the safety of their organisation. The programme is taught using a mixture of lectures, group work and practical exercises to maintain interest and to allow delegates to practice the skills they have learned, so that they can be applied in the workplace.

Certification

An IOSH Managing Safely certificate is awarded to all those who attend the course and successfully complete the written and practical assessments.
