An IOSH Managing Safely training course gives people in positions of responsibility an overview of how to identify, evaluate and control workplace risks.
It is aimed at anyone with responsibility for other employees, including team leaders, supervisors and managers.
The IOSH Managing Safely course was developed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). This is a global chartered body that creates training courses to promote high standards of health and safety in the workplace.
IOSH Managing Safely qualifications are an excellent precursor to further professional development, including the IOSH Leading Safely course or NEBOSH accreditation. And best of all, they can be completed online.
An IOSH Managing Safely certificate is a sought-after accreditation and supports continued professional development.
There are no entry requirements to book this course and you do not need to register for IOSH membership.
Moving on from an IOSH Managing Safely qualification, participants will be well-positioned to study for a career in health and safety. It’s particularly useful for workers seeking further accreditation from the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH).
