IOSH Training Courses

You’ve probably seen IOSH courses delivered badly rushed, generic, disconnected from the realities of your workplace. We take a different approach. Our IOSH Managing Safely and IOSH Working Safely programmes are built around your organisation’s actual risks and systems. We teach the core syllabus through the lens of your industry, your hazards, and the decisions your people face daily. The result is training that sticks, not just certificates that satisfy an audit. The courses we deliver are:

Managers & supervisors · Practical competence IOSH Managing Safely Not the generic classroom model. Anchored in UK legal duties, real workplace decisions, and controls that actually reduce risk. Learn more → All employees · Foundation course IOSH Working Safely Not a “poster course”. A practical foundation for building consistent standards across teams, including contractors and new starters. Learn more →

Oracle Safety Associates Limited – Tailor Made Training

Our tailored training is built around real workplace systems, legal duties, and decision making at operational and management level.

These are the building blocks of effective safety management. Each programme develops practical competence in the systems and processes that prevent harm risk assessment, safe systems of work, contractor control, and the monitoring activities that tell you whether your arrangements are actually working.
