IOSH Managing Safely Refresher Course
What’s It About?
This IOSH Managing Safely Refresher course is a practical one-day course for people who have already completed the full IOSH Managing Safely Course and want to refresh their knowledge and confidence.
You’ll revisit the key principles of managing health and safety using the Plan-Do-Check-Act approach, with a strong focus on leadership, risk assessment, communication and reviewing performance.
The course also gives you the chance to reflect on what you already know, apply it to practical workplace situations and think about how you can use that refreshed knowledge back in your own organisation.
The focus is on the Plan-Do-Check-Act Health and Safety Management System and aims to provide support to managers dealing with everyday health and safety issues.
It is recommended that this IOSH Managing Safely Refresher course is taken after 3 years of completing the original 3-day course.
What Will You Gain?
By the end of the IOSH Managing Safely Refresher course, you’ll have refreshed your knowledge of the key principles of managing health and safety and strengthened your confidence in applying them in the workplace.
You’ll revisit the Plan-Do-Check-Act approach, including leadership, risk assessment, communication, measuring performance and learning from what happens in practice.
The course also gives you the chance to think about how you influence safety culture, how effectively health and safety arrangements are working and what improvements may be needed. Through an interactive case study, you’ll apply your refreshed knowledge and link it back to your own workplace.
Most importantly, you’ll return to work better prepared to manage your health and safety responsibilities with renewed confidence, involve your team and keep improving the way health and safety is managed day to day.

It is particularly useful for managers and supervisors who want to make sure their knowledge is still current and take a fresh look at leadership, risk assessment, communication and improving health and safety performance.
Why’s It Important?
Health and safety responsibilities don’t stand still. Over time, it’s easy for knowledge to become less familiar or for good habits to slip, especially when managers are busy dealing with day-to-day pressures.
