IOSH Working Safely - 1 day course
Course aims
This course is aimed at employees at any level, in any sector, who need a basic knowledge and understanding of the Health and Safety at work. This should therefore apply
to all types of employees since everyone at work should have an understanding of why they must ‘work safely’.
The course should also benefit employers by helping them to improve the safety culture within their organisation. By focusing on how individual actions contribute to Health
and Safety in the workplace it will also assist in making employees more responsible towards themselves, colleagues and other persons affected by work activities.
The course is ideal for delivery as part of an employee induction programme or as part of an ongoing training scheme.
