Training Course Content
- Introducing IOSH 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 and health and safety law and enforcement. Then introduce 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. The process of good accident investigation is described so that root causes can be identified.
