What the IOSH Managing Safely Refresher Covers
The refresher follows IOSH’s course outline: a recap, then leadership, then each stage of plan, do, check, act, linked back to your own workplace.
Thinking Back
What delegates took away from the full Managing Safely course, the key reasons for managing safely, and a recap of the key terms.
Leadership
Why leadership is important, and how managers create a positive safety culture.
Plan
What a safety and health policy is, what it includes, and how to put it in place.
Do
A risk assessment exercise, and the best ways to communicate the findings and the safety and health plan to the workforce.
Check
The types of data available, what can be measured, and how it shows whether the plan is in place and working.
Act
Why reviewing performance, acting on lessons learned and improving continually matters, then reflecting on how to use it back at work.

How the Refresher Works
One practical day, built around a case study. IOSH designed the refresher around an interactive case study: delegates apply what they know to the plan, do, check, act model, then link it back to their own workplace. They look at what a safety and health policy looks like, come up with ideas to influence safety culture and choose the best ways to engage a workforce.
Delegates who succeed receive an IOSH Managing Safely Refresher certificate, which can be verified online through IOSH.

When Is a Refresher Due?
IOSH certificates don’t expire, but IOSH recommends refresher training every three to five years. Law, guidance and your own workplace all change, and a recent certificate reassures clients, auditors and inspectors.
If your managers were certified a few years ago, tell us when and how many and we’ll recommend the quickest way to bring them up to date. For the detail on validity, read How Long Does IOSH Last?

CLARITY
IOSH Managing Safely Refresher: Common Questions
What’s the difference between the IOSH Managing Safely Refresher and the full course?
The full IOSH Managing Safely course runs over three days and is for managers and supervisors new to it. The refresher is one day and is only for people who have already completed the full course. It revisits the key parts rather than teaching them from scratch.
What if a manager can’t show they completed the full course?
IOSH says the refresher is for people who have completed the full Managing Safely course. If a manager never did it, or can’t show they did, the full three-day course is the right route. All genuine IOSH certificates can be verified online through IOSH.
Does the IOSH Managing Safely Refresher certificate expire?
No. IOSH course certificates don’t expire. IOSH recommends refresher training every three to five years, so a manager who takes the refresher now would usually look at the next one in three to five years’ time.
How much does the IOSH Managing Safely Refresher cost?
The IOSH Managing Safely Refresher is from £149 face-to-face and from £140 virtual on Microsoft Teams, per delegate, plus VAT. In-house for your team, at our venue or yours: an unbeatable price on request.
Is there an IOSH Managing Safely Refresher e-learning course?
Not yet: refresher e-learning is coming soon. For now we run the refresher live on Microsoft Teams or face-to-face. Our e-learning platform does have the full IOSH-approved IOSH Managing Safely course, at £150 + VAT, for managers who haven’t done the full course yet.
Is there an IOSH Working Safely refresher?
IOSH doesn’t list a separate Working Safely refresher. People usually retake the one-day IOSH Working Safely course, or move on to Managing Safely if they now supervise others.
Can you run the refresher on-site for our managers?
Yes. We run it face-to-face at your premises anywhere in the UK, or as a private virtual session for your team on Microsoft Teams. Either way we use examples from your industry, so the case study and discussion feel real.
