IOSH Managing Safely – Warrington
Managing Safely is the nationally recognised health and safety qualification that gives managers and supervisors the knowledge and tools to tackle the health and safety issues that they are responsible for. It is intended for managers and supervisors in any sector, and any organisation.
Managing safely covers the following topics….
1. Introducing Managing Safely
Health and safety is not a ‘bolt-on’ or addition to a manger’s or supervisor’s role, rather, it is an essential component. The first module makes it clear that managers are accountable for their teams, and makes a persuasive case for managing safely successfully.
2. Assessing Risks
The module defines and explains ‘risk’ and ‘risk assessment’. Risk assessments and a simple scoring system are introduced and delegates will carry out a series of assessments.
3. Controlling Risks
This session tackles the best ways of cutting the risks down, concentrating on the best techniques to control key risks, and how to choose the right methods.
4. Understanding your responsibilities
This module looks at the demands of the law and how the legal system works, and introduces a health and safety management system.
5. Identifying hazards
All the main issues any operation has to deal with are covered in this module – entrances and exits, work traffic, fire, chemicals, electricity, physical and verbal abuse, bullying, stress, noise, housekeeping and the working environment, slips, trips and falls, working at height, computers and manual handling.
6. Investigating accidents and incidents
The session starts with why accidents should be investigated, and goes on to cover why things go wrong, and how to carry out an investigation when they do.
7. Measuring performance
This module explains how checking performance can help to improve health and safety. Delegates learn how to develop basic performance indicators, and get to grips with auditing and proactive and reactive measuring.
8. Protecting our environment
A short but effective introduction to waste and pollution leads into a look at how organisations and individual managers can get involved in cutting down environmental impacts.
