Senior leadership shapes safety culture more than any policy document ever could, and the IOSH Leading Safely course gives directors, business owners and executives the strategic grounding to lead that culture properly. Not sure whether Leading Safely or IOSH Managing Safely is the right starting point? Managing Safely covers operational management responsibility, while Leading Safely is built specifically for those setting strategy and shaping culture at the top, so the right course depends on how senior your role sits within the organisation.
Delivered as the Online IOSH Leading Safely Course (Remote Learning), this one day programme runs entirely live via video conferencing, with a real tutor and genuine interaction throughout rather than a pre-recorded module worked through alone. Rather than operational detail, the course centres on benchmarking, leadership behaviour and measurable business benefit, showing how strong safety leadership reduces accidents, strengthens reputation and supports better business continuity across the organisation.
Delegates use a mobile app diagnostic tool to benchmark their own safety and health leadership against recognised global standards, identify capability gaps across structure, process and people, then build a personal action plan to close them. It suits directors, business owners, CEOs, senior managers and executive leadership teams, whether confident in health and safety already or approaching the subject for the first time. New to formal health and safety training altogether? Our IOSH Working Safely course offers a useful, more foundational starting point before stepping up to leadership level.
For senior leaders wanting to build a stronger case for safety investment across the business, our IOSH Safety for Senior Executives course covers related territory from a slightly different angle. Successful delegates on this course complete both a practical and a written assessment before receiving the IOSH Leading Safely Certificate, and can browse our wider range of health and safety training courses to plan further development across their organisation. No formal prerequisites apply, though delegates do need access to a tablet, laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone, speaker and stable internet connection to join the live session.
