IOSH is Europe’s leading body for health and safety professionals.

No more ‘death by PowerPoint’. We at PJH Safety Training 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 IOSH course is unlike any other. You’ll find a practical programme, 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.

IOSH Managing safely delivers...

Who should go on IOSH Managing safely?
The IOSH Managing safely is for managers and supervisors in any sector, and any organisation. It’s designed to get managers up to speed on the practical actions they need to take to handle health and safety in their teams.

What will they get out of it?
What they need to know – and are perhaps reluctant to learn about - in a refreshingly informal way.

IOSH Managing safely won't turn delegates into safety experts – but it will give them the knowledge and tools to tackle the health and safety issues they're responsible for. Importantly, it brings home just why health and safety is such an essential part of their job.

Successful delegates are awarded an IOSH Managing safely certificate.

What will their employer get out of it?

• nationally recognised and respected certificated training for their managers and supervisors
• peace of mind offered by training that's designed and quality controlled by the Chartered body for health and safety professionals
• flexibility – the four day programme can be delivered in slots that suit the business
• two key areas – health and safety and environmental basics - are covered in a single programme

IOSH Managing safely covers...

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Protecting our environment
A short but effective introduction to waste and pollution leads into a look at how organisations and individual managers can get involved in cutting down environmental impacts.
