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 3-day course.
