IOSH is Europe’s leading professional body for Health and Safety practitioners. The Institute is dedicated to improving the safety, health and welfare of people at work and those affected by work activities. This assessed course is designed primarily for managers and supervisors who need to manage safety. This course covers topics necessary to enable delegates to manage safety in compliance with health and safety legislation, company policy and contract requirements.
