IOSH - Working safely course

Description

Syllabus/Course Structure and Assessment

The main subject areas of the course are:

• Identify hazards and evaluate risks in the workplace
• Use appropriate workplace precautions for specific risks or seek advice on workplace precautions
• Assist managers in preparing written risk assessments
• Follow their organisation's health and safety policy
• Co-operate and communicate on health and safety matters
• Carry out work activities without risk to themselves or others
• Report relevant accidents and incidents, monitor their own activities, and assist managers in active monitoring

How is the course assessed?

There is a short assessment consisting of a closed book 10 question multiple-choice paper and a hazard spotting exercise. Successful delegates are awarded a Working Safely certificate issued by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).

Please Note:

Planned changes to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme mean that from September 2017, Construction Related Occupation (CRO) cards will be phased out. Without registration on an accepted course, or an industry-recognised qualification for your trade, you will not be able to apply for a CSCS card, unless you apply for the CSCS Labourer Card, to access construction sites.

An IOSH Working Safely Certificate, along with a CITB Health & Safety Certificate, allows you to apply for a Labourer Card. Therefore, from September 2017, without a CSCS card, you won't get on site. The Labourer Card may be the only way you can get on site.
