IOSH Managing Safely

Course Overview
Is for those required to manage safely and effectively in compliance with both their organisation’s policy and best practice in health and safety. Taking a proactive, risk management-driven approach to health and safety, managing safely is based on:

Identification and achievement of desired workplace behaviours.
Skills-based training with practical exercises wherever possible.
Formal assessment of skills as well as underpinning knowledge.
Best practice rather than legislation, allowing international delivery of training.
