Online IOSH Courses

IOSH Working Safely is designed for anybody, no matter their role or the sector they work in. It covers the essentials of health and safety, which are important for protecting yourself and your colleagues at work.

IOSH Managing Safely is a health and safety certificate designed for line managers and supervisors, which covers topics such as how to carry out a risk assessment and accident investigation. It is designed to provide learners with the knowledge needed to manage health and safety, and create a strong safety awareness culture across their organisation.

IOSH stands for the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

IOSH is the chartered body for health and safety professionals, providing qualifications to raise the standards of health and safety in workplaces worldwide.

The IOSH Working Safely certificate takes approximately 6 hours to complete, and the IOSH Managing Safely certificate takes approximately 22 hours.

Once the content has been completed, you will need to pass a final assessment:

• For the Working Safely course, this is made up of a multi-choice question paper and a hazard spotting exercise.
• For the Managing Safely course, this is made up of a multi-choice question paper and a risk assessment project.

Once you have completed the course and the assessment has been passed, IOSH will process the results. They will then post your certificate to Commodious to be forwarded to you. 

When we receive the certificate, we email a PDF scan of the certificate to you before posting the physical copy. The paper certificate usually arrives within 5 working days of passing the assessment, however this is not a guaranteed timescale.

The certificate never expires. However, it is recommended that learners take a refresher course every three years.
