IOSH Managing Safely: What to Expect from the Course

IOSH Managing Safely® is one of the most widely recognised health and safety qualifications for people who manage or supervise others. Training Advantage Group's course is delivered 100% online, is independently rated 'Outstanding' by IOSH (the highest possible grade), and gives learners 190 days of access from enrolment.

The seven course modules

• Introduction — health and safety management, legal context and management responsibilities
• Assessing Risks — understanding hazards and carrying out effective risk assessments
• Controlling Risks — the hierarchy of controls and selecting appropriate measures
• Understanding Responsibilities — legal duties and the role of managers and supervisors
• Understanding Hazards — physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic risks
• Investigating Incidents — reporting, root cause analysis and learning from accidents
• Measuring Performance — monitoring and reviewing health and safety performance

How it's assessed

Assessment happens in two parts, both completed online after finishing the modules: a multiple-choice examination of 30 interactive questions, and a practical work-based risk assessment where learners apply what they've covered to a real workplace situation. Most learners complete the whole course, study and assessment included, in 16–24 hours, working at their own pace.

Who it's for

The course is aimed at supervisors and team leaders responsible for staff, managers at any level in any industry, business owners and directors, and anyone moving into a management role for the first time. No prior qualifications are required. Successful candidates receive the official IOSH Managing Safely® Digital Certificate, issued directly by IOSH.
