WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Delegates must allocate sufficient time after the course for completing a workplace based assignment. This assessed course will cover the application of recognised management principles in health and safety and will equip the delegate to tackle the issues in their own work place.

EXAMINATION

The course is assessed by:

1. A short written/objective multiple-choice paper.
2. A workplace based written assignment.

Delegates, who attend and successfully complete both the practical and written assessments, will be awarded the Managing Safety certificate, issued by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) in the UK. The practical assessment must be completed in the delegate’s workplace and submitted within two weeks of completing the course. A minimum pass grade of 70% is required for certification.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It is well recognised by all parties that time can erode both knowledge and skill. To overcome this, for delegates who took the full IOSH Managing Safely course within the last three years, IOSH is now recommending that they sit a re-certification course prior to the end of their three-year period. For those who took the full course more than three years ago, IOSH recommends that they undertake the full 5-day course.

This course can also be presented as an in-company package at our client's preferred location. For more details, please contact us.
