Who Takes IOSH Managing Safely

Managing Safely is described as the flagship IOSH course for managers, supervisors, team leaders and directors. If you are responsible for the safety of others at work in any way, it is the course we suggest.

What the course covers

Over three days it covers introducing managing safely, assessing risks, controlling risks, understanding your responsibilities, understanding common hazards, investigating incidents and measuring performance. The aim is to give people who run teams the knowledge and skills to manage health and safety within them.

What it asks of you

You do not need previous qualifications, and experience is useful but not required. You do need to read, speak and write English well, because the course is taught and assessed in English. You attend all three days, take a multiple choice exam and complete a project that shows how you would handle a risk assessment.

What you leave with

Students who pass receive an official IOSH certificate. It has no expiry date, and a refresher every three years is advised to keep your knowledge up to date.

If you are not sure
