IOSH Managing Safely
Ideal for supervisors, managers, and team leaders, IOSH Managing Safely helps those responsible for the health and safety of others to assess and control workplace risks.
Course overview
The IOSH Managing Safely training course gives people in positions of responsibility an overview of how to identify, evaluate, and control workplace risks. It helps those responsible for the safety and welfare of other workers to assess and control workplace risks. This includes evaluating the safety systems already in place within your organisation.
The IOSH Managing Safely course was developed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). This is a global chartered body that creates training courses to promote high standards of health and safety in the workplace.
An IOSH Managing Safely certificate is a sought-after accreditation and supports continued professional development.
Phoenix’s IOSH Managing Safely course can be studied via classroom, online, or in-house learning.
