HEALTH & SAFETY
SUCCEEDING IN THE LONG RUN
ROSPA
HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH IOSH
At some point or other we’ve all heard the
phrase ’hit the ground running’. For most of
us however, the dream of being instantly
successful at a new activity is just that:
a dream. It’s hardly surprising. Imagine
strapping on a set of skis before hurling
yourself down the Alps. The results would not
be pretty. That’s because the secret to success
usually involves hours of hard work and
dedication in order to make your exertions
look effortless later on.
In many ways the same applies to a career in
safety. Only by putting in the time and effort
will you be able to arm yourself with the skills
you need to succeed in the long run. That’s
where IOSH comes in….
WHAT IS IOSH?
The Institution of Occupational Safety and
Health (IOSH) is a world-leading professional
body for people responsible for safety and
health in the workplace, providing training
courses and practical tools so that individuals
and organisations can create safer and
healthier working environments. In particular,
the IOSH Managing Safely training course is
a practical solution to managing health and
safety risks.
WHAT IS IOSH MANAGING
SAFELY?
IOSH Managing Safely is designed
for managers and supervisors in any
organisation or sector. It’s a pragmatic course
with a sharp business focus, which is held in
high esteem by delegates and delivered at
locations throughout the UK as well as in-
company, or online for those based overseas
or who simply wish to learn at a time and
place to suit their needs.
WHAT ARE THE BUSINESS
BENEFITS?
Above all else, businesses who employ
holders of the qualification can expect to
cut their costs without cutting corners or
compromising on safety. But beyond that,
there are a wealth of other key reasons why
this occupational safety course is good for
business:
• Greater productivity from fewer hours lost
to sickness and accidents
• Improved organisation-wide safety
awareness culture and appreciation of
safety measures

workplace

great place to start.
