About this course

- Introducing Working Safely – This module stresses the reality of human suffering behind the workplace accident statistics and emphasises the importance of personal responsibility and eliminating the myth that accidents only happen to other people.

- Defining hazard and risk – Addressing the definitions of ‘hazard’ and ‘risk’ and putting them into everyday language that everyone can understand. This particular module emphasises that even the simple tasks, those which are carried out repeatedly can go wrong with serious consequences.

- Identifying common hazards – All the main issues are covered in this module; entrances and exits, work traffic, fire, chemicals, electricity, physical and verbal abuse, bullying, stress, noise and manual handling. Each area is back by understandable and relatable examples in recognisable scenarios.

- Improving safety performance – This module deals with systems and processes, ensuring that any health and safety ‘jargon’ that is commonly used is explained in clear and easily understood terms. The session bridges the gap between management and the workforce, encouraging delegates to play an important part in processes they may feel are not their responsibility, but that of their manager or supervisor. All aspects of workplace safety, such as contract work, inspections, safe systems and permits, protective equipment, signage and emergency procedures are all focused upon through the delegate’s point of view.

- Protecting our environment – The final module is a short but effective introduction to waste and pollution, leading to delegates looking at how organisations and individual team members can get involved in reducing their environmental impacts. Memorable and thought provoking facts and figures help to drive the reality of the situation home.

The IOSH Working Safely Course is suitable for any candidate within a work place that requires an understanding of Health & Safety.

no prior experience of health and safety is required to attend this course.
