IOSH Health and Safety Training

The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) courses have been developed to address the training needs of the non-health and safety expert. Highly successful, the practical, certified courses are delivered to an average of 60,000 people per year.

Working Safely – Online Version

The online, or CDROM based, ‘Working Safely’ course is designed to ensure that the learner fully understands their responsibility for ensuring both their own health and safety as well as that of other people. It also enables the learner to recognise key workplace hazards, assess risks and put safety precautions in place.

The online course follows the same syllabus as that for more traditional classroom based version, but provides the added benefits of:

Just-in-time learning – The flexibility of e-learning means that this key health and safety knowledge can be delivered to the individuals who need it at the precise time they need it

Learner centred – The self-paced format accommodates all levels of ability and learning time availability

Consistency of message – e-learning ensures that everyone gets the same information in the same way. This is very important, especially in subjects driven by legislation, such as health and safety

Job down -time minimised – learning can be scheduled for delivery at times most convenient to both the learner and management

Learner friendly – The course is engaging, interactive and good to look at

Good learning retention – research suggests that retention is better than that resulting from traditional training methods

Location Flexibility – e-learning provides a practical solution to the problems of where and when to carry out training

Cost effective – Per head training costs can ensure maximum value for money within the training budget

Overall Course Aim

To make employees, at all levels, aware of their responsibility for safety toward themselves, colleagues and others affected by their work activities.

Delegate Prerequisites

None

Duration

9 to 10 hours self paced online learning and task book completion

Target Audience

‘Working Safely’ is aimed at all people, whose work exposes them, or others, to risk.

Course Structure

The ‘Working Safely’ online course is structured as four learning modules, each module containing a series of smaller ‘learning units’. This unitised structure ensures that the learning is presented in small, easily digested chunks – a well-known feature of effective learning materials.

Course Outline

The course is in four parts, consisting of four modules and a final assessment:

Module 1: ‘Working Safely’ – an introduction to the course

Module 2 ‘Key Activities and Legislation’ - helps you to understand how health and safety problems arise

Module 3 ‘Common Hazards’ – This is the main part of the course and looks at most of the dangers you are likely to encounter at work

Module 4 – ‘Improving the Organisation’s Safety Performance’ – A look at how organisations should go about improving long term health and safety performance

Final Assessment – An assessment consisting of 30 mostly multi-choice questions designed to validate learning and lead to the award of the ‘Working Safely Certificate’

Task Book

The Task Book consists of a series of exercises and observations to be undertaken following completion of the course. It is intended to help the learner to transfer what they have learned about specific health and safety topics to the ‘real life’ environment of their own workplace. Full instructions on how to use it are contained within the Task Book itself.

As well as containing exercises and the opportunity to make notes the Task Book contains summaries and key points drawn from the course itself. This makes it a useful reference source when the course and exercises have been completed.

Tutor Support

Online tutor support via email or fax is available for students whose organisations cannot provide a suitably qualified health and safety professional.

Certification

An IOSH ‘Working safely’ certificate is awarded to all those who undertake the course and successfully complete both the course units and Final assessment.

Understanding of the course material is evaluated by means of a 25-minute online assessment consisting of 30 multi-choice questions and hazard identification questions.

Objectives:

On successful completion of the course, delegates will be able to:

Identify the hazards and evaluate the risks to health and safety in their workplace

Use appropriate workplace precautions for specific risks, or seek advice on workplace precautions

Assist managers in preparing written risk assessments

Comply with their organisation’s health and safety policy
