IOSH WORKING SAFELY INTRODUCTION

Workers killed: 212

Failing to train employees in basic health and safety is an offence and may lead to prosecution, increased civil claims, poor employee relations and poor performance in the organisation. The IOSH Working Safely module provides an interactive experience for trainees to learn the basic elements of health, safety and environment in the workplace, how they can be involved in riskassessments and what to look out for at work. The module is ideally suited as part of an ‘Induction’ package and also as a start point for employees to attend other specific courses.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The module has been developed for all levels of employees in all sorts of organisations to provide a baseline level of health, safety and environmentknowledge which enables them to undertake their jobs safely.

HOW IS IT DELIVERED?

‘IOSH WORKING SAFELY’ can be delivered online or through a computer network to each trainee at their desktop or laptop. The training can be completed at the employees own pace by ‘book marking’ and recording progress and returning to the training at a later stage. In delivering the training in this way the normal costs of training are reduced whilst still achieving the desired awareness and compliance with the organisation’s legal responsibilities. At the end of the training the trainee will complete an online IOSH accredited hazard spotting exercise and challenging end assessment. Successful trainees will receive an IOSH Working Safely certificate or passport which they can use to prove that they have attained a recognised level of health and safety awareness.
