  • Identifying common hazards
  • Improving safety performance
  • Protecting our environment

Confirmation of learning is achieved by completion of the written and practical assessments at the end with successful candidates receiving an IOSH certificate in Working Safely. The one-day programme includes the assessment, so there’s no need to free up further time for a test after the course.
