3 WAYS TO LEARN
IOSH Working Safely is designed to train up employees to abide by essential health and safety practices in the workplace. Through the one-day training course, delegates will develop health & safety awareness skills to identify and deal with common hazards and learn why this is important to maintaining a productive and safe working environment.
Developed by leading health and safety membership organisation, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), IOSH Working Safely is an incredibly valuable certification that is available to all employees from any industry sector.
What is the IOSH Working Safely course?
IOSH Working Safely is one of the most popular introductory health and safety training courses at Grow Training. It’s a flexible course that can be completed both in-house and online and it only lasts one day, meaning employees can get stuck into implementing their learnings the next day.
The IOSH Working Safely course is recognised as an equivalent to the Health and Safety Executive’s ‘Passport’ syllabus. It’s designed to equip employees with a basic knowledge and understanding of relevant health and safety practices, in line with the Government’s guidelines, that ensures the well-being of the individual and the colleagues around them.
