IOSH Managing Safely

IOSH stands for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. It is a professional body based in the UK that promotes and regulates standards of health and safety in the workplace. It is also known as the world’s chartered body for safety and health professionals. Our IOSH Managing Safely qualification is accredited and approved by the institute. It is an important qualification when it comes to project management as safety considerations are crucial during the planning and execution phases. Project managers must ensure safety measures are implemented and protocols followed. From a business analysis perspective, it helps professionals integrate health and safety into organisational processes, ensuring improvements align with safety standards and promote employee well-being.

The course delves into foundational principles, providing a practical understanding of risk assessment, hazard control, and legal compliance. The Level 2 classification signifies a basic yet comprehensive grasp of health and safety concepts, making it accessible for a wide range of professionals across different industries.
