Details IOSH Managing Safely

The course is accredited by IOSH, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, Europe's leading professional body for health and safety practitioners.

This comprehensive 5 day course will enable anyone who manages risks and resources to review their departmental systems and introduce practical controls to improve health and safety.

This course is intended for managers or anyone who manages risks and resources.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

Understand how to comply with their organisation's health and safety policy
Understand best practice in health and safety
Carry out risk assessments and identify common hazards
Review their systems for health and safety
Introduce new controls or implement changes to make their organisation work more safely
