Interactive Managing Safely

IOSH Interactive Managing Safely is targeted at Managers and Supervisors who need to understand the basic principles of managing Health and Safety.

Interactive Managing Safely includes all the training content of the normal classroom based course. The course is ideal for students who find it difficult to take time away from the office or factory as it can be accessed from any available PC and used in small sections from just 20-30 minutes. (Total course length: approximately 20 hours.)

How it works

Each student is provided with a learning pack including their personal interactive CD-ROM. After training the CD becomes a permanent reference source. The course is used in bite-sized chunks either at home or at work. Just a few hours each week will rapidly lead to certification (subject to successful completion of project and final examination).

During the interactive training, students complete a written project, fully supported by their course mentor. (Course price includes 3 month’s mentoring and technical support).

Finally, students attend an examination centre to sit their final assessment. Assessments take just an hour to complete. The single course fee includes learning pack, mentoring & support for 3 months, final assessment, project & exam marking and certificate fee.

Interactive training

Interactive Managing Safely is equivalent to a 4 or 5 day IOSH accredited classroom based course.

The course makes extensive use of interactive sequences thereby involving the user and encouraging higher retention of information.

Although the course is based around the CD, reading materials can be printed off to be studied 'offline' and access to a 'mentor' is provided throughout the duration of the course. This hybrid approach combines the best of all worlds -personal contact, computer based interactivity and the flexibility to study where and when it suits the individual.
