We know that getting people fully involved, having fun, and learning by doing, is the way to achieve health and safety training success. We want to get delegates really thinking about what they’re learning – and having the confidence and enthusiasm to put it into practice when they’re back at work.
This course is unlike any other. You’ll find a practical program, full of step- by-step guidance, and with a sharp business focus. But you’ll also find that the highly innovative format and content engages and inspires delegates – critical to getting essential health and safety messages across.
Managing safely: introducing a completely new approach to health and safety training
- a flexible course (minimum 24 hours
of face-to-face contact) covering the health and safety management basics in a high impact interactive package
- superb quality animated graphics created exclusively for the course

- no jargon or off-putting legal language
- clear scenarios that managers can relate to

Managing safely Covers:
- 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.
- 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 risks down, concentrating on the best techniques to control key risks, and how to choose the right method.
- Understanding your responsibilities
This module looks at the demands of the law and how the legal system works, and introduces a health and safety management system. - Identifying 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.
- Investigating accidents and 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. - 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.
Managing safely includes:
- full PowerPoint presentation featuring state-of-the-art animation
- clear delegate workbook with sections for notes and Q&A sessions, and plenty of simple, custom- designed illustrations –
no clip art! - user-friendly trainer notes including focused training tips and extra background information so that trainers can go into more detail in all the key areas
- a board game and quizzes to bring health and safety to life and maximise interactivity
- two DVDs
- a bank of assessments – delegates’
understanding of health and safety basics is evaluated using multi- format questions and a risk assessment project
The whole package fits into a sleek and robust wheeled case.
Delivering Managing safely
If you want to run Managing safely, you’ll need to be, or nominate, a member of IOSH. It’s the IOSH member’s responsibility to oversee the course and act as the first line of quality control. Centrally, quality control is provided by IOSH’s training team.
All trainers who deliver Managing safely need to have as a minimum:
– a health and safety qualification at national level 3, such as a BSC Certificate in OSH, TUC Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, NEBOSH National General Certificate or another equivalent qualification.
– at least two years’ training experience, with a minimum of 50 per cent face-to-face delivery or a national level 3 adult teaching/ training qualification at level 3, such as City & Guilds, CIPD Certificate in Training Practice or another equivalent qualification.
In addition, the main trainer or nominated IOSH member will need to attend a Familiarisation Training Day before we can issue a licence to deliver this course. Our familiarisation sessions are designed to bring you up to speed on the course’s style and format, the technology and the quality control procedures.
