It’s not about teaching, it’s about learning
No more ‘death by PowerPoint’. We know that getting people fully involved,
having fun, and learning by doing, is the way to achieve health and safety
training success. We want to get delegates really thinking about what they’re
learning – and having the confidence and enthusiasm to put it into practice
when they’re back at work.
This course is unlike any other. You’ll find a practical programme, full of stepby-step
guidance, and with a sharp business focus. But you’ll also find that the
highly innovative format and content engages and inspires delegates – critical
to getting essential health and safety messages across.

“A dynamic education package ...
brings health and safety to life”
Matt Terry, Bovis Lend Lease
Who should go on Managing safely?
Managing safely is for managers and
supervisors in any sector, and any
organisation. It’s designed to get
managers up to speed on the practical
actions they need to take to handle
health and safety in their teams.
What will they get out of it?
What they need to know – and are
perhaps reluctant to learn about – in a
refreshingly informal way.
Managing safely won’t turn delegates
into safety experts – but it will give them
the knowledge and tools to tackle the
health and safety issues they’re
responsible for. Importantly, it brings
home just why health and safety is such
an essential part of their job.
Successful delegates are awarded an
IOSH Managing safely certificate.
What will their employer get out of it?
- nationally recognised and respected
certificated training for their
managers and supervisors
- peace of mind offered by training
that’s designed and quality-controlled
by the Chartered body for health and
safety professionals
- flexibility – the programme can be
delivered in slots that suit the
business
- two key areas – health and safety
and environmental basics – are
covered in a single programme
What will trainers get out of it?
- straightforward, high quality training
designed by a team of specialists
- a ready-to-go programme pack –
we’ve done the hard work, saving
trainers the headache and the hassle
- full back-up from our support team
on every aspect of training, from
advice on the training environment to
guidance on marking assessments
- free technical updates
Managing safely delivers...
“The level is just right for managers”
Tony Cheesman, West Anglia Training Association
“Informative and thoughtprovoking.
Excellent
course materials”
Ken Stewart, Young
Enterprise East Midlands
Memorable and thought-provoking
facts, figures and case studies help
drive the points home over the whole
course. Each module is backed by
crystal clear examples and
recognisable scenarios, and
summaries reinforce the key learning
points. The course includes checklists
and other materials for delegates to
try out and then use when they get
back to work.
1. Introducing Managing safely
Some managers may see health and
safety as an add-on to their role – even
an intrusion. The first module makes it
clear that managers are accountable for
their teams, and makes a persuasive
case for managing safely.
2. Assessing risks
This module defines and demystifies
‘risk’ and ‘risk assessment’. Risk
assessments and a simple scoring system
are introduced, and delegates carry out
a series of assessments.
3. Controlling risks
Here the session tackles cutting risks
down, concentrating on the best
techniques to control key risks, and how
to choose the right method.
4. Understanding your
responsibilities
This module looks at the demands of
the law and how the legal system
works, and introduces a health and
safety management system.
5. Identifying hazards
All the main issues any operation has to
deal with are covered in this module –
entrances and exits, work traffic, fire,
chemicals, electricity, physical and verbal
abuse, bullying, stress, noise,
housekeeping and the working
environment, slips, trips and falls,
working at height, computers and
manual handling.
6. Investigating accidents and
incidents
The session starts with why accidents
should be investigated, and goes on to
cover why things go wrong, and how to
carry out an investigation when they do.
7. Measuring performance
This module explains how checking
performance can help to improve health
and safety. Delegates learn how to
develop basic performance indicators,
and get to grips with auditing and
proactive and reactive measuring.
8. Protecting our environment
A short but effective introduction to
waste and pollution leads into a look at
how organisations and individual
managers can get involved in cutting
down environmental impacts
