The IOSH Working Safely certificate does not expire; however, it is good practice to refresh safety training periodically to ensure that employees stay up-to-date with best practices and any changes in regulations.
The course provides a solid workplace safety and health foundation, complementing more advanced or specialised training.
It helps create a baseline understanding among all employees, supporting your implementation of broader health and safety policies and initiatives.
While the core content of the IOSH Working Safely course is standardised to maintain consistency and quality, we offer the flexibility to incorporate examples and case studies relevant to your industry or specific workplace scenarios.
Upon completion, you can expect improved safety awareness and practices among employees, reduced workplace accidents, a more proactive approach to identifying and managing risks, and a stronger organisational safety culture.
The assessment for Managing Safely consists of two components: a multiple-choice question paper and a practical risk assessment project. To pass the multiple-choice question paper, a score of 36 out of 60 is required. For the practical risk assessment project, a pass mark of 23 out of 38 is necessary.
