Every manager carries responsibility for the safety of their team, and the IOSH Managing Safely Course gives that responsibility real substance. Developed by the Institute of Occupational Safety & Health for managers and supervisors in any business sector or organisation, it's designed to help managers introduce new controls and implement change within their department, promoting a safer workplace in line with organisational policy and health and safety compliance.
For managers wanting a lighter, non-managerial introduction to health and safety awareness for their wider team, the IOSH Working Safely Course covers similar ground at employee level, and organisations often book the two together to build a consistent safety culture from the shop floor up. Managers ready to build on this qualification with a deeper technical grounding sometimes progress onto the NEBOSH National General Certificate once their Managing Safely certification is in place.
Because risk assessment features so heavily throughout the course, delegates often pair it with the Risk Assessment Online Course for a deeper practical grounding in the technique. Organisations wanting board-level and management-level expectations properly aligned frequently combine this course with the CITB Health and Safety for Directors Course for their senior leadership team, while construction site managers specifically often hold this alongside the CITB SMSTS Course to cover both general management and construction-specific requirements.
Delegates are responsible for submitting their written and practical assessments within the required timescales; failure to do so results in failing the course, regardless of the quality of the work submitted.
