The Short Answers
How long does IOSH Managing Safely last?
The course runs over 3 days, whether you join our live virtual classroom or we come to your site. It ends with a short multiple-choice assessment, and each delegate then completes a risk assessment project based on their own workplace.
Can I do IOSH Managing Safely online?
Yes. We run it live online in a virtual classroom: a real trainer, real discussion and the same 3 days and IOSH certificate as the classroom course. It isn’t a self-paced click-through, so your managers stay engaged and can ask questions as they go. Prefer to learn at your own pace? IOSH-approved e-learning is also available on our e-learning platform for £120 + VAT.
Does the IOSH Managing Safely certificate expire?
IOSH certificates don’t expire, but IOSH recommends refresher training every three to five years so managers stay current with the law and good practice. A recent certificate also reassures clients and auditors. Read more in What Is IOSH?
How much does IOSH Managing Safely cost?
It depends on the format: face-to-face from £375 + VAT, virtual on Microsoft Teams from £350 + VAT and e-learning from £120 + VAT, per delegate. For a group, we run it in-house at our venue or yours for an unbeatable price on request. Tell us your numbers and we’ll quote within one working day.

What the IOSH Managing Safely Course Covers
The course follows the IOSH syllabus, delivered with examples from real workplaces so it makes sense on a Tuesday morning, not just in the exam.
Introducing Managing Safely
Why managing safety matters: the moral, legal and financial case, and what good looks like.
Assessing Risks
How to carry out a risk assessment step by step, from spotting hazards to recording what you find.
Controlling Risks
Choosing controls that work, using the hierarchy of control, and checking they’re followed.
Understanding Responsibilities
The legal duties of managers and supervisors under UK health and safety law, in plain English.
Understanding Hazards
The common workplace hazards, from manual handling and hazardous substances to working at height.
Investigating Incidents
Why accidents and near misses happen, and how to investigate so they don’t happen again.
Measuring Performance
How to tell whether safety is improving, using proactive checks as well as incident figures.
Who Is IOSH Managing Safely For?
IOSH Managing Safely is for anyone who manages or supervises other people and is responsible for their safety. No previous health and safety training is needed.
Ideal for:
- New and experienced line managers
- Supervisors and team leaders
- Site, shift and department managers
- Business owners who manage their own staff
How You’re Assessed
Two parts, both set by IOSH. At the end of the course there’s a multiple-choice assessment on what’s been covered. After the course, each delegate completes a risk assessment project on a real task in their own workplace.
The project is the bit managers find most useful, because it leaves them with a finished risk assessment they can use straight away. Your trainer explains the pass marks and the project on day one, and checks everyone is ready before the assessment.
Pass both parts and you receive the IOSH Managing Safely certificate. Want a head start? Our guides and revision help cover the topics in plain English.
IOSH Managing Safely Refresher
IOSH recommends refresher training every three to five years, and offers a one-day Managing Safely Refresher for managers who have completed the full course. Law, guidance and your own workplace all change, and a certificate from last decade won’t reassure a client or an inspector.
We run the one-day IOSH Managing Safely Refresher live on Microsoft Teams or on-site. 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.
WHY BETTER ON PURPOSE
Why Book Your IOSH Training With Us

Properly accredited. We’re an IOSH Approved Training Provider (4301) and a Highfield Approved Centre (17588), so your certificates are the real thing.
Built around your team. Live online for a few places, or on-site for a whole management team, with examples from your industry. Need more than IOSH? We also run management training and health and safety courses for every role.
Face-to-Face, Virtual, E-Learning or In-House

“You certainly have a talent for keeping everyone engaged and enthused for three days. Excellent!”
CLARITY
IOSH Managing Safely: Common Questions
Is IOSH Managing Safely a qualification?
It’s an IOSH-certificated course rather than a regulated qualification on the national framework, but it’s one of the most widely recognised health and safety certificates for managers in the UK. Employers, clients and tender documents ask for it by name.
What level is IOSH Managing Safely?
It isn’t set at a formal qualification level. It’s designed for managers and supervisors who need a practical grounding in health and safety, without needing a specialist background. If you want a full professional qualification, the NEBOSH General Certificate is the next step up.
Is IOSH Managing Safely difficult?
It’s designed for non-specialists, and people who take part in all three days are well prepared for the assessment. The test checks understanding rather than memory tricks, and the project is based on your own workplace, so it uses what you already know.
How is IOSH Managing Safely assessed?
There are two parts: a multiple-choice assessment at the end of the course, and a risk assessment project completed in your own workplace afterwards. IOSH sets the pass mark for each, and your trainer explains both on day one so nobody is caught out.
What’s the difference between IOSH Managing Safely and Working Safely?
Managing Safely is a 3-day course for people who manage or supervise others. IOSH Working Safely is a 1-day course for employees at any level. Many teams send managers on Managing Safely and everyone else on Working Safely.
Is IOSH the same as NEBOSH?
No. IOSH Managing Safely is a short course for line managers. NEBOSH certificates are longer professional qualifications for people moving into a health and safety role. Most managers need IOSH; your safety lead might need NEBOSH.
Do you run IOSH Managing Safely for construction, manufacturing or care teams?
Yes. The course is for any sector. When we run it for your team, on-site or online, we use examples from your industry so the risk assessments and discussions feel real.
