Why This Course Was Developed?
The IOSH Managing Safely course was developed to ensure managers understand their responsibilities for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.
Health and safety is an essential part of effective management, yet many managers receive little formal training in this area. IOSH created this course to bridge that gap by providing practical guidance on how to manage risks, prevent accidents and promote a strong safety culture within organisations.
The programme helps managers recognise that health and safety is not just a compliance requirement but a key element of successful business performance and employee wellbeing.
By completing the course, managers gain the confidence and competence needed to manage health and safety effectively within their teams and contribute to safer working environments.
