IOSH Working Safely Course Content

The IOSH Working Safely course content is split into four modules and follows the same structure as the classroom-based open course:

Module 1 – Introducing Working Safely: Define what is meant by safe working, why is it important to work safely, who is responsible for health & safety in the workplace, an organisation’s responsibilities for health & safety and who has responsibility for worker actions.

Module 2 – Defining Hazard & Risk: Identify sources of hazards & risks, identify the six hazard groups, hazards which are not easy to identify what is meant by the term ‘hazard’, ‘risk’, ‘risk assessment’, ‘likelihood’, ‘consequence’ and ‘reasonably practicable’ and how to decide on what actions to take the control risk.

Module 3 – Identifying Common Hazards: Understand workplace precautions for the control of common workplace hazards and risks

Module 4 – Improving Safety Performance: Delegates will gain insights into workplace safety, including risk assessment, individual and organizational roles in enhancing safety, and the effective use of safety protocols and equipment. The module covers topics from the importance of attitude and behaviour, emergency procedures, incident reporting, to health surveillance and the roles of safety committees and enforcement inspectors.

"I must say this course is excellent, the option for doing this online is great, I struggle to get time for courses so sitting at home for a few hours at night suits me perfectly. I really enjoyed it and its a real eye opener to be honest."

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions we frequently get asked about our eLearning courses.

What’s the difference between virtual and elearning?

Elearning courses are made up of course materials that you read, listen to and watch. Our virtual courses are more like classroom courses except you are viewing your tutor and the presentation on your screen. You learn alongside other delegates, take part in group activities and discussions, share stories and situations from your workplace and get advice from your tutor and classmates. Elearning you learn at your own pace, choosing to do it all at once, an hour at a time however you like, virtual courses have set times just like a classroom course.
