IOSH Working Safely Course

Every workplace runs safer when everyone in it understands the basics, and the IOSH Working Safely Course gives exactly that grounding to people at any level, in any sector. Developed by the Institute of Occupational Safety & Health, this one-day course covers the essential health and safety fundamentals, along with core environmental issues, without assuming any prior knowledge.


Managers wanting a more strategic counterpart to this course should also consider the IOSH Managing Safely Course, and organisations often book the two together, giving both frontline staff and their supervisors consistent, aligned safety knowledge. Anyone new to the construction sector specifically may also want to look at the CITB Health and Safety Awareness Course alongside this qualification, since the two cover overlapping ground from slightly different angles depending on the industry.


Because risk assessment features throughout the day, delegates often pair this course with the Risk Assessment Online Course for a deeper practical grounding in the technique. It's also common to see this course booked alongside Manual Handling Training and PPE Awareness Training as part of a broader new-starter induction, giving employers a straightforward way to build a well-rounded base of safety knowledge across their workforce.
