ONLINE IOSH Managing Safely Course (Remote Learning)

Every manager carries responsibility for the safety of their team, and this IOSH Managing Safely 3 day virtual course brings that training straight to your screen. Delivered remotely using instructor-led online learning, the course content remains the same as classroom-based training, though delegates attend a scheduled, interactive class via Zoom or Teams video conferencing rather than in person.

Developed by the Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) for managers and supervisors in any business sector or organisation, the Online IOSH Managing Safely Course (Remote Learning) is designed to help managers introduce new controls and implement changes within their department, promoting a safer workplace in line with organisational policy and health and safety compliance. Anyone weighing up remote against classroom delivery may also want to look at the IOSH Managing Safely Course, which covers identical content in person for those who prefer face-to-face learning.

To take part, delegates need access to a tablet, laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and speaker. At the end of the course, candidates need to complete a short exam of 25 multi-format questions and a practical risk assessment based project, and IOSH will issue and email successful delegates directly with their Managing Safely certificate.

Following successful completion of the Online IOSH Managing Safely Course (Remote Learning), candidates will be able to:

• Understand the main guidelines and practice as set out in Health & Safety at Work Act
• Explain the component parts of a recognised safety management system such as HSG65 and OHSAS 18001
• Identify the data and techniques required to produce an adequate record of an incident and demonstrate the procedure for an accident investigation, recognising the human factors involved
• Describe statutory requirements for reporting and procedures for checking for non-reporting
• Define 'hazard' and 'risk', and describe the legal requirements for risk assessment
  Demonstrate a practical understanding of a risk assessment technique and the data required for records
• Describe workplace precaution hierarchies
• Prepare and use active monitoring checklists and implement schedules for active monitoring, recording results and analysing records
• Outline relevant health and safety legislation, codes of practice, guidance notes and information sources such as the Health and Safety Executive

The Online IOSH Managing Safely Course (Remote Learning) will cover the following topics:

• Introduction and Overview

An IOSH Managing Safely certificate is awarded to all those who attend the Online IOSH Managing Safely Course (Remote Learning) and successfully complete both the written and practical assessments. Understanding of the course material is evaluated by means of a written assessment paper consisting of 25 multi-format questions and a practical risk assessment based project. Delegates are responsible for submitting their assessments within the required timescales; if assessments are not submitted by this time the candidate will fail the course.

The Online IOSH Managing Safely Course (Remote Learning) is for managers and supervisors in any sector and any organisation who are required to manage risk and resources within their organisation.
