IOSH - Managing Safely
Course Objectives
This course ensures that safety requirements are appreciated by people employed as line managers and enables them to review their own departmental systems for safety, introducing new controls or implementing changes as appropriate to make the department work more safely.
Contents
On successful completion of the course delegates should be able to:
- Explain "working safely"
- Explain the component parts of a recognised safety management system such as HSG65 or BS 8800 and appreciate the role of risk assessment within the system
- Compare safety management systems with their management systems and describe how to integrate systems successfully if appropriate
- Identify the data and techniques required to produce an adequate record of an incident and demonstrate the procedure for an accident investigation, recognising the human factors involved
- Final day examination
- Practical exercise for each delegate to take away and implement in their workplace in their own time
This qualification is to provide Managers with an understanding of Health & Safety practices. It is also appropriate as a progression for those who have completed Working Safely.
Course benefits
The certificates for this course will remain valid for a period of three years. A re-certification course is available to update and increase knowledge of current best practice. The re-certification course will allow previous course delegates to update their skills without resitting the four day course.
