IOSH (Institution of Occupational Health and Safety) Working Safely

Currently all of our courses are being delivered via Zoom online (face to face with experienced expert tutor), due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. However "in house" face to face courses can be arranged subject to Covid-19 controls being applied.

Includes comprehensive and easy to understand course documentation.

Background

The IOSH Working Safely course has been around for many years and has become an established standard in employee health and safety training. Many employers throughout the world use the course as a measure of 'core competency'. If you use the working safely course it shows clearly that a commitment is being made to the health, safety and wellbeing of your employees.

Working safely meets the United Kingdom government's guidelines for introductory health and safety training and is a 100 per cent match to the Health and Safety Executive's 'passport' syllabus. So this course not only enables your employee to meet the right standards, it will also ensure they gain relevant safety passports required for entry in to many UK workplaces who use contractor passport schemes.

The principles involved in achieving health and safety requirements are the same regardless of geographical location and legal compliance. So the IOSH Working Safely is the perfect for use throughout the world.

Course Aim

Working safely isn't supposed to turn delegates into safety experts. It focuses on why health and safety is important, and how workers can make a real difference to the wellbeing of themselves and others through changing their behaviour at work.

Who Should Attend

Working safely is for people at any level, in any sector, needing a grounding in the essentials of health and safety. Everyone at work should have an understanding of why they must 'work safely' – and this course offers exactly that.

Objectives

On completion of this course, delegates should be able to:

• Have sufficient information to competently and confidently work safely in all environments.
• Be clearly aware of the aims, objectives and benefits of working safely.
• Be knowledgeable about the application and implementation of basic Health & Safety issues at work.
• Have a basic understanding of the implications of Health & Safety legislation.
• Answer questions regarding working safely.
• Communicate coherently with all managers and staff concerning health and safety.

Content of Course

The course consists of 5 Modules:

Module 1   Introducing working safely.
Module 2   Defining hazard and risk.
Module 3   Identifying common hazards.
Module 4   Improving safety performance.
Module 5   Protecting our environment.

Examination Information

Assessment is by means of one multi-choice test paper and three hazard-spotting exercises. There is minimum disruption to working days and shifts as this course includes the assessment, so there's no need to free up further time for a test after the course.

Other Information

There are no specific barriers, in terms of academic qualification or skills, to undertake the IOSH Working Safely course. While candidates may not have English as a first language, a good understanding of English is a general requirement to undertake the course and sit the end test. However, if reading and writing is a problem for any candidate they can still attend the course, and we will ensure that they are not put at any disadvantage.
