What is IOSH Working Safely?
IOSH Working Safely is a one-day course covering the essentials of health and safety in the workplace. It is aimed at all employees in all types of organisation.
IOSH Working Safely looks at people’s responsibilities for health and safety, workplace hazards and risks, and how to control them.
IOSH Working Safely shows how everyone can make a difference to their own and others' wellbeing through everyday actions.
What does IOSH training include?
The training syllabus varies depending on the course, but both include the following common key aspects:
Identifying hazards
The Working Safely course considers a range of hazards that could potentially cause harm including mechanical, physical, chemical, environmental, biological and organisational hazards. The Managing Safely course looks at hazards from a specific industry perspective including location, activity, substance and equipment.
Defining and assessing risks
Both courses guide learners through the risk assessment process and use a simple scoring system to use during assessments. Both also seek to underline that even simple, repetitive tasks can result in serious risks.
Improving health and safety performance
Looking at systems and processes, this topic investigates a wide range of workplace safety issues including inspections, permits, protective equipment, signage and emergency procedures to demonstrate how checking performance across these aspects can help to reduce risk.
