Course overview

Every manager needs an understanding of their safety and health responsibilities. IOSH Managing Safely is designed 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.

It is a practical programme, full of step-by-step guidance with a sharp business focus, and makes a powerful case for safety and health being an integral part of day-to-day management and business. Memorable facts and case studies from across the globe, clear examples, recognisable scenarios and module summaries reinforce the key learning points.
