About the training

Course Overview

Managing health and safety is part of being a manager. You don't need to become a health and safety expert, but you do need to understand your responsibilities, recognise when something could cause harm and know what you should do about it. IOSH Managing Safely is a practical course for managers and supervisors in organisations of all sizes and across different industries. The course looks at health and safety from a manager's point of view. We cover how to assess and control risk, understand your responsibilities, recognise different types of workplace hazards, investigate incidents and measure health and safety performance. We don't just work through the IOSH material and expect you to remember it. We use discussion, exercises and workplace examples to help you understand why something needs to be done and how you can apply it when you return to work. Wherever possible, we relate the course to the work you actually do. If we're delivering the course specifically for your organisation, we can use appropriate examples from your workplace and discuss the types of risks your managers and supervisors are responsible for. The aim is straightforward: managers should leave the course with a better understanding of their health and safety responsibilities and practical tools they can use as part of their everyday management role.

Qualification code

IOSHMS

Maximum learners

Maximum learner-to-tutor ratio: 20:1.

We keep the course interactive, with opportunities for learners to ask questions, discuss workplace situations and work through activities rather than simply listening to a presentation.

For in-house courses, using examples from your own workplace can make these discussions particularly useful and help managers relate what they're learning to their everyday responsibilities.

Prerequisites

There are no formal health and safety qualification prerequisites for attending IOSH Managing Safely.

The course is designed for managers and supervisors and you don't need to be a health and safety specialist to attend.

It is particularly useful if you already manage people, activities or workplace risks, as you'll be able to relate what we're covering to situations you deal with as part of your role.

Learners need to be able to take part in discussions and activities and complete the IOSH course assessment.

Please tell us before the course about any disability, medical condition or additional support requirement that could affect your participation or assessment so that appropriate support and reasonable adjustments can be considered.

Course duration

IOSH Managing Safely is normally delivered face-to-face over 3 days.

For live remote training via Microsoft Teams, we normally spread the course over 6 half-day sessions. Breaking the course into shorter sessions works well for remote learning and helps keep the training interactive and manageable.

Whichever delivery method you choose, the course is live and tutor-led. We combine the IOSH course content with discussion, activities and workplace examples to help learners understand how the principles apply to their own management role.

For in-house courses, we can also use appropriate examples from your workplace to make the training relevant to the situations your managers and supervisors actually deal with.

Assessment

Managing Safely includes two assessment elements: an IOSH knowledge assessment and a workplace risk assessment project.

Both elements must be completed successfully to receive the IOSH Managing Safely certificate.

We will confirm the current IOSH assessment format, timings and pass requirements with learners as part of the joining information and course delivery. We don't publish historic question counts or pass marks unless they are confirmed in the current IOSH provider materials.

If you need additional learning or assessment support, please tell us before the course so we have time to discuss appropriate support and, where applicable, reasonable adjustments.

Certification

Learners who successfully complete the course and assessment receive an IOSH Managing Safely certificate.

Managing Safely is designed and quality-assured by IOSH, the Chartered body for occupational safety and health professionals.

Requalification

The IOSH Managing Safely certificate does not expire. IOSH offers a one-day Managing Safely Refresher course for delegates who have completed the full programme and want to keep their knowledge current with good practice and regulatory change.
