Course Content
Introducing Managing Safely: Some managers may see safety and health as an add-on to their role – even an intrusion. The first module makes it clear that managers are accountable for their teams, and makes a persuasive case for managing safely.
Assessing risks: This module defines and demystifies ‘risk’ and ‘risk assessment’. Risk assessments and a simple scoring system are introduced, and delegates carry out a series of assessments.
Controlling risks: Here the session tackles cutting down risks, concentrating on the best techniques to control key risks, and how to choose the right method.
Understanding responsibilities: This module looks at the demands of the law and how the legal system works, and for those who do not have strict guidelines or laws, there is guidance and placeholders to fill with relevant information and introduces a safety and health management system.
Understanding the hazards: All the main issues any operation has to deal with are covered in this module – aggression and violence, asbestos, bullying, chemicals, computer workstations, confined spaces, drugs and alcohol, electricity, fire, getting in and out, heights, housekeeping, lighting, manual handling, noise, plant and machinery, radiation, slips and trips, stress, temperature, vehicles and transport, and vibration.
Investigating incidents: The session starts with why incidents should be investigated and goes on to cover why things go wrong, and how to carry out an investigation when they do.
Measuring performance: This module explains how checking performance can help to improve safety and health. Delegates learn how to develop basic performance indicators, and get to grips with auditing and proactive and reactive measuring.
About Exam
The IOSH Managing Safely exam process involves two assessments: a 45-minute, 30-question multiple-choice exam and a workplace risk assessment project. Both assessments must be passed to earn the qualification, and the risk assessment project must be submitted within two weeks of completing the course.
Course Approach
The Managing Safely course delivers essential health and safety knowledge in a practical, engaging, and informal way. It’s designed for managers who need to understand their safety responsibilities — even if it’s a topic they may have been hesitant to explore. While it doesn’t turn participants into safety experts, it equips them with the tools and confidence to handle the safety and health issues they oversee. Most importantly, it highlights why safety and health are vital parts of every manager’s role. Successful participants will receive an IOSH Managing Safely certificate.
