Lesson Plan

IOSH Working Safely is split into five interactive modules:

An introduction to working safely; the principles of why working safely is important.
Defining hazard and risk; recognising risks in the workplace and understanding the application of risk assessments.
Identifying common hazards; understanding how hazards arise and how to prevent them.
Improving safety performance; understanding how systems and processes can be put in place to improve safety performance and how these relate to all levels of the workforce.
Protecting our environment; how organisations and individuals can get involved in reducing environmental impacts.

Duration

If attempted in one sitting, this IOSH working safely course should take at least 6 hours to fully work through all the interactive exercises, read and absorb the information. Learners who have completed other health and safety training will probably find they can work through at a much faster pace - typically less than 3 hours.
