Overview

IOSH Approved Managing Workplace Safety course overview

Managing workplace safety requires more than a surface-level understanding. The IOSH Approved Managing Workplace Safety course is a comprehensive, three-day course that provides a practical, in-depth understanding of how to manage health and safety in the workplace.
 
We don’t treat this as a theory-heavy course. As an IOSH approved training provider, IMPAC delivers a highly interactive experience that combines structured learning with real-world application. Over three days and six modules, participants work through key areas including hazard and risk management, incident investigation, performance measurement, and safety leadership. Through discussion and practical scenarios, learners build the confidence to apply these concepts within their own organisations.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on building capable leaders who can influence and improve safety performance. Participants leave with an IOSH certificate, a detailed, high-quality pocket guide for ongoing reference, and the confidence to apply their learning to drive meaningful change within their organisation.

Curriculum

What you'll cover

This course is designed for:
  • Managers, supervisors, and team leaders expected to lead safer work and make sound decisions about workplace risk.
  • Health and safety personnel needing a practical framework for hazard identification, incident investigation, and performance measurement.
  • Operational and maintenance employees who already play an active role in workplace health and safety activities.
  • People wanting stronger confidence in risk management, safety leadership, and improving safety performance within their organisation.

Our approach

+IMPAC's IOSH Approved Managing Workplace Safety training approach

IMPAC delivers this course as a structured, facilitator-led learning experience that keeps the training practical from the outset. Across six modules, learners work through short teaching segments, guided discussion, and realistic scenarios that show how workplace safety management decisions play out in everyday operations.

The training focuses on helping participants think clearly about hazards, harm, risk control, incident investigation, performance measurement, and safety leadership. Rather than leaving those topics at a policy level, trainers use examples and exercises to help learners test their judgement, ask useful questions, and understand how effective health and safety management works in real workplaces.
