ONLINE IOSH Working Safely Course (Remote Learning)

A safer workplace starts with everyone in it understanding the basics, and the IOSH Working Safely course remains one of the most widely recognised ways to build that shared foundation across a workforce. Delivered as the Online IOSH Working Safely Course (Remote Learning), this one day programme runs entirely online through live, instructor led sessions, giving anyone searching for IOSH Working Safely online a genuine, interactive alternative to the classroom. Prefer to learn in person? Our classroom IOSH Working Safely Course covers identical content face to face, so the right format comes down to preference and logistics.

Across the day, delegates work through why working safely matters and the effects of failing to do so, how to define and identify hazards and risk, and practical ways to improve safety performance day to day, alongside the basics of protecting the environment at work, including how individuals can help minimise pollution and waste. It suits employees with little or no previous health and safety training, as well as anyone wanting to sharpen best practice, without needing to travel to a physical venue.

Delegates are assessed through written and practical exercises built into the live remote session, and successful candidates receive their IOSH Working Safely certificate by email directly from IOSH once the course is complete. Looking to progress further? Our online IOSH Managing Safely course builds on this foundation for anyone stepping into a supervisory or management role, covering the same content in more depth from a management perspective.

No formal prerequisites apply, though delegates do need access to a tablet, laptop or desktop computer with a working webcam, microphone, speaker and stable internet connection to join the live session and take part in genuine two way interaction with the tutor throughout the day. Course dates and pricing are listed upfront on the booking page, so you can check the IOSH Working Safely course cost before you book. For a broader grounding in environmental responsibility alongside safety, our NEBOSH Environmental Certificate and NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction Certificate are both natural next steps worth considering.
