Course Description
The IOSH Working Safely Course trains employees how to contribute towards health and safety in the workplace and clearly explains their responsibilities. It also outlines what their employer should provide in the interests of Health & Safety.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed to make employees, at all levels, aware of their responsibilities for safety toward themselves, colleagues and others affected by work activities. This internationally recognised training course is also ideal for companies that need to meet the ever-increasing demand for evidence of health and safety compliance. Companies have witnessed a marked improvement of their safety culture, productivity and the behaviour of their staff as a result of attending this course.
Course Content
The IOSH Working Safely Course covers identifying hazards and evaluating risks in their workplace; the use of appropriate workplace precautions for specific risks or when to seek advice on workplace precautions; how to assist managers in preparing written risk assessments; the importance of following their organisation’s health and safety policy and co-operating and communicating on safety matters; how to carry out work activities without undue risk to themselves or others; and how to report relevant accidents and incidents and monitor their own activities and assist managers in active monitoring, whilst covering the Principles, Health and Safety Law. It is based around five modules which cover:

A Polite Notice
It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a IOSH Working Safely Course you need to feel assured that your training provider is fully accredited to provide that training and is not then going to sub-contract the work. Lighthouse Safety Training are fully accredited by IOSH to provide the IOSH Working Safely course and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.
