Description

IOSH Working Safely is designed for people at any level where health and safety is critical to their role. Especially suitable for new starters, this thorough one-day course will provide an essential introduction to the basics of safety in the workplace, from identifying potential issues to taking practical steps to limit them wherever possible.

Because this course focuses on best practice rather than legislation, it's suitable for candidates from around the world, and not just those from the UK. With this in mind, it’s also jargon-free and full of practical, real-world examples that delegates will be able to relate to their own working environments. A host of interactive study modules, PDF texts, exam simulations, practice questions, knowledge checks and videos are provided too.

With IOSH Working Safely, there’s minimum disruption to working days and shifts. The one-day programme includes the assessment, so there’s no extra time required for a test after the course.

Course overview

The course is divided into four modules:

  1. Introducing working safely
  2. Defining hazard and risk
  3. Identifying common hazards
  4. Improving safety performance.

Assessment depends on how you choose to study.

If you study in the classroom the multiple-choice examination and hazard spotting exercise are completed at the end of the course.

If you study online, the course and assessment must be completed within five months of registration.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
