IOSH-Approved Managing Safely eLearning Course

This IOSH-Approved Managing Safely eLearning Course is ideal for managers and supervisors in any sector, and any organisation worldwide. They won’t suddenly become safety experts – but they’ll get up-to-speed on the practical actions they need to take and gain the knowledge and tools to tackle the safety and health issues they’re responsible for. Importantly, Managing Safely makes a powerful case for safety and health being an integral part of day-to-day management and business.

Delegates should:

• Have a good understanding of written & spoken English. If delegates have any problems with English literacy or language comprehension, they must bring them to the attention of their employer.
• Be able to commit and dedicate their spare time to study.

The agenda for the IOSH-Approved Managing Safely eLearning Course includes:

1. Introducing Managing Safely

Some managers may see health and safety 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.

2. 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.

3. Controlling Risks

Here the session tackles cutting risks down, concentrating on the best techniques to control key risks, and how to choose the right method.

4. Understanding Responsibilities

This module looks at the demands of the law and how the legal system works, and introduces a health and safety management system.

5. Understanding Hazards

All the main issues any operation has to deal with are covered in this module – entrances and exits, work traffic, fire, chemicals, electricity, physical and verbal abuse, bullying, stress, noise, housekeeping and the working environment, slips, trips and falls, working at height, computers and manual handling.

6. Investigating Incidents

The session starts with why accidents should be investigated, and goes on to cover why things go wrong, and how to carry out an investigation when they do.

7. Measuring Performance

This module explains how checking performance can help to improve health and safety. Delegates learn how to develop basic performance indicators and get to grips with auditing and proactive and reactive measuring.

8. Online Assessment: 30 Online Interactive Questions

Multiple choice examination in which candidates must demonstrate what they have learnt.

9. Online Practical Task: Conducting a Work-Based Risk Assessment

Practical assessment in which participants must show how to apply the knowledge they have gained throughout the course to real life situations.

Successful delegates will receive an IOSH Managing Safely e-certificate accredited by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). There is no expiry date on the certificate – however, IOSH do recommend that delegates refresh their qualification every 3 years to ensure their knowledge is kept up to date and relevant.

The natural progression from the IOSH Managing Safely course is the NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety Course.
