IOSH Working Safely
The IOSH Working Safely course has been completely updated with a view to meeting the needs of the modern workplace:
- a one-day course offering all the health and safety basics in a high impact interactive package;
- quality animated graphics created exclusively for the course
- a presentation that's designed to be fun, and get people fully involved and interested;
- first class, jargon-free technical content based on what people need to know in practice, without off-putting legal language;
- clear scenarios drawn from genuine work situations to drive home practical points; and
- assessments built into the day's training - no need for follow-on tests on separate days, taking up valuable work time.
This course will not turn your staff into safety experts but it will focus their minds on to the important health and safety issues in your workplace and show them the part that they play in keeping themselves and others safe at work. Having successfully completed the assessments, candidates will be issued with either a Working Safely Certificate or a credit card sized "Passport" card. The course is usually run on an in-company basis as it offers a very cost-effective means of addressing the needs of many employees. In addition the material can be tailored to the needs of the individual organisation.
Who this course is for
Working Safely is for those staff who are exposed to common workplace hazards on a day to day basis and who need a basic grounding in the essentials of health and safety. This course is therefore especially suited to operatives within most organisations as it covers a broad range of common workplace hazards. It is especially useful when something more than a very short health and safety induction is required.
Benefits to your organisation
This course delivers:
- certificated and accredited training for your staff;
- minimum disruption to work activities: the course and its assessments all take place on the same day;
- a course that meets the government guidelines for introductory health and safety training and which matches the HSE's "passport" syllabus; and
- two key areas - not only health and safety but also some basic awareness of environmental issues.
