Course Prerequisites
To enrol in this course, you must have previously completed the IOSH Managing Safely course.
This course is designed for individuals who have completed the IOSH Managing Safely course and wish to refresh their knowledge.
Just like the main course, the refresher is for managers and supervisors responsible for managing health and safety in the workplace, regardless of the sector or organisation.
The refresher course has six main themes that you will cover:
- Thinking back – First up, you will reflect on what you took away from your original Managing Safely course. You’ll revisit the key reasons for managing safely and recap key terms in an engaging, participative way.
- Leadership – you’ll explore why leadership is essential and how to create a positive safety culture.
- Plan: You will dive into a health and safety policy and what it includes before tackling ways to implement it.
- Do – You will undertake a risk assessment exercise and uncover the best ways to communicate your findings and plan to the workforce.
- Check – You’ll consider the types of data that exist, what can be measured, and how this helps in seeing if ‘the plan’ is implemented and working.
- Act – Last but not least, you’ll find out why it is essential to review performance, act on lessons learned and strive to improve continually. You’ll end the day by reflecting on what you have learned and how you will use this in your workplace.
The IOSH Managing Safely Refresher is assessed via a 30-minute multiple-choice exam sat at the end of the course.
In the exam, you’ll answer 21 questions in various formats.
