An overview of the IOSH Managing Safely Online course modules and contents.

Introducing Managing safely

The first module makes it clear that managers are accountable for the employees under their control , and makes a persuasive case for managing safely.

Assessing risks

Explanation of the terms ‘risk’ and ‘risk assessment’. Delegates learn  how to complete a basic risk assessment using the risk assessment process.

Controlling risks

We look at the hierarchy of control and concentrate on the best techniques to control key risks. Delegates soon understand to look at first eliminating risk, whereas PPE is the last resort.

Understanding your responsibilities

We review the legal system, health and safety law and enforcement, introducing the importance of having a health and safety management system.

Identifying hazards

We explain all the common hazards that managers may face. Both those that are well known, but also the less obvious but important hazards.

Investigating accidents and incidents

The importance of why accidents should be investigated is explained and the process of good accident investigation is described so that root causes can be identified.

Measuring performance

This module explains how checking performance can help to improve health and safety. Delegates learn how to develop basic performance indicators,  auditing and proactive and reactive measuring.

Protecting our environment

Protecting our environment plays a major part in most managers roles. This section explains how organisations and individual managers can get involved in cutting down environmental impacts.

We provide a guaranteed pass for all of our online courses.

What this means is that should a delegate fail two exam attempts, First4Safety Ltd will reset the course free of charge in order for you to re-study. We cover all IOSH fees for this. We will provide the additional support to ensure future attempts are successful.
