IOSH Managing Safely

The IOSH Managing Safely syllabus contains a balance of theory and practical examples over seven areas. Your focus will largely be on investigation and assessment, safety culture, environmental concerns and measurement.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to identify different types of hazard and decide how to control them. You’ll use a risk assessment to communicate the likelihood of accidents, list the potential consequences and apply controls.
