You can work as a dedicated health and safety professional, overseeing safety policies, conducting risk assessments, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
In this role, you would provide guidance and support to organisations in developing and implementing health, safety, and environmental policies and procedures.

One core benefit of the IOSH Managing Safely qualification is that it lasts a lifetime.

Additionally, if you want to continue your safety education journey, many who pass the IOSH Managing Safely course go on to take a NEBOSH General Certificate.
The NEBOSH course offers more in-depth health and safety knowledge for managers and supervisors who are aiming to progress into a health and safety-centric career.
Alternatively, if you would like to develop your generalist safety knowledge, we also offer other IOSH courses.
The IOSH Managing Safely Course is a Level 2 qualification, which is equivalent to a GCSE, as opposed to IOSH Working Safely, which is an entry-level course that only takes a day to complete.
However, both IOSH and NEBOSH offer health and safety accreditations from level 2 upwards. If you want to pursue a career in the safety industry, we’d recommend the more detailed NEBOSH course.
As we mentioned previously, the IOSH qualification is more targeted to line managers who require solid OSH knowledge to manage one or more people safely.
Another entry-level assessment to consider is the HABC Level 2 Award in Risk Assessment. However, this area of study is more steered towards risk perception and recognition.
IOSH Managing Safely is a Level 2 qualification. If you’re searching for Level 3 accreditation, the IOSH Level 3 Certificate in OSH Principles and Practice is the best option.
The Level 3 Certificate in OSH Principles and Practice is for individuals aiming to pursue a career in OSH across several industries.
There are several benefits to taking the IOSH Managing Safely course. However, one overarching advantage to businesses is the development of management and employees.
Hesham Alawi Abdulla of Aluminium Bahrain highlighted that the course invigorated his firm’s safety consciousness and gave his supervisors additional understanding.
“Managing Safely has meant that our supervisors are now talking about safety issues, with others keen to take the course. It’s because they’ve heard that the training is serious and constructive, with strong assessments and engaging instructors. Feedback shows that delegates enjoy the presentation style too.”
But there are some other advantages to taking the course, from enhanced efficiency to cost savings. Here is a more comprehensive list of benefits:
The course equips participants with the necessary tools and understanding to identify workplace hazards, assess risks, and implement risk control methodology.

Participants gain a solid understanding of risk assessment and management strategies. This enables them to proactively identify and mitigate hazards, minimising the likelihood of workplace incidents.
