IOSH Managing Safely Courses

IOSH Managing Safely Course Overview:

The IOSH Managing Safely course provides responsibility holders with a holistic overview of workplace risks, as well as skills that enable them to identify, evaluate and respond to risks in a professional and effective manner so that they can keep themselves and their employees safe. As an important part of the training, we guide participants through how to conduct an evaluation of their existing safety systems.

The IOSH Managing Safely course was created by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, a distinguished global organisation which is well-known in the field for providing first-class training courses related to workplace safety. For this reason, a certificate issued by us is not only a kite-mark of quality in terms of professional development; it is also an indication to others that you and your organisation have set and maintain the very highest of safety standards.

In order to make our training course as accessible as possible, we have enabled access in three different ways: via face-to-face instruction in the classroom; via in-house sessions, and via our online platform.
