It equips individuals with the knowledge and practical skills to effectively manage workplace risks, promote a positive safety culture, and ensure compliance with relevant health and safety legislation. It also lends itself to reviewing knowledge of managing workplace health and safety responsibilities, whilst gaining a globally recognised qualification in health and safety. 

Developed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), the three-day course is suitable for managers and supervisors in all industries and sectors, and we are running an open course for independent school employees on the following dates:

• Thursday 16th October - 09:30 -13:00

Recently, Christ’s Hospital School have become one of our customers, and they have kindly agreed to host the course and welcome other independent school delegates, so the course will focus on independent school environments and activities.
