About This Course
IOSH Managing Safely is the world's most popular health and safety training course for managers, with over 130,000 people completing it every year. Designed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), this course gives managers the knowledge and skills they need to manage health and safety effectively within their teams.
Unlike many health and safety courses, IOSH Managing Safely focuses on practical application rather than theory.
