What is the IOSH qualification?
Safety in the workplace is a vital component of a successful business, which is why keeping staff up to speed with the latest rules, regulations and advice around health and safety is so important. There are many ways that you can educate operators, specialists and managers on the importance of workplace health and safety, but one of the best is using an accredited training course.
The Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has developed an innovative 3-day course called IOSH Managing Safely, which is designed with management in mind. It is a market-leading health and safety course that empowers managers with the tools and knowledge they need to create a safer working environment.

This course has been developed to improve safety awareness across multiple industries and workplaces. The course has been running for over 25 years with great success and delivers exceptional results for employers and staff alike.
