IOSH Managing Safely Course
Practical health and safety management training for managers, supervisors and team leaders.
Overview
IOSH Managing Safely is built for managers, supervisors and team leaders who are responsible for the safety of others but do not necessarily need a technical safety qualification. It is practical rather than academic, and applies to managers in any industry.
The course covers risk management, safety responsibilities, incident investigation and health and safety performance, without getting into heavy legal or technical detail. That makes it one of the most accessible management-level safety courses available, and one of the most widely requested by employers who want every manager, not just safety specialists, to understand how to run a safe team.
What is IOSH?
