Investing in health and safety training is essential for protecting your workforce, improving compliance, and creating a safe working environment. For managers, supervisors, and team leaders, IOSH-accredited courses provide a recognised standard in workplace safety. But with multiple IOSH training options available, it’s important to choose the right course for your team’s needs.
Understanding IOSH Training Options
The most popular courses include IOSH Managing Safely and IOSH Behavioural Science for Leadership in Safety.
IOSH Managing Safely is ideal for managers and supervisors across all sectors. This course equips your team with practical skills to identify hazards, assess risks, implement control measures, and promote a positive safety culture. By the end of the programme, delegates will understand legal health and safety responsibilities, how to investigate incidents, and how to reduce workplace accidents.
IOSH Behavioural Science for Leadership in Safety is designed for leaders who want to drive real behavioural change in safety practices. Developed in partnership with performance psychologists, this course focuses on understanding human behaviour, motivating teams, and improving organisational safety culture. It’s especially beneficial for supervisors, safety managers, and senior leadership teams looking to embed safety as a core business value.
Factors to Consider When Choosing IOSH Training
1. Team Roles and Responsibilities
Assess the roles of your team members. Managers and supervisors often benefit from IOSH Managing Safely, while leadership teams or safety specialists may gain more from the Behavioural Science for Leadership course.
2. Industry and Workplace Risks
Different sectors face different hazards. From manufacturing and construction to care homes and food production, choose a course that aligns with the specific risks and compliance requirements of your industry.
3. Delivery Options
IOSH courses can be delivered in person, virtually, or through a blended approach. Consider your team’s location, shift patterns, and operational needs to ensure training is effective and accessible.
4. Practical Application
Choose a course that not only covers theory but also provides practical guidance. Hands-on exercises, case studies, and scenario-based learning help teams apply safety knowledge in real-world situations.
