Aims of the course
The IOSH Managing Safely course is designed to give you, as a
manager, an understanding of how to deal with health and safety
issues in your workplace and also to make you aware of your
responsibilities as a manager.



Why e-learning?

You have probably chosen an e-learning course over a face to face classroom course for a
number of reasons:

You can study when and where you want to, at a time
and place that suits you
You can study at your own pace and in as much or as
little detail as you choose
You want an interactive learning experience, using a
range of media images, video, audio and
animation, as well as text
You can complete both of the assessments online
It is a more cost effective option



Our e-learning option a smart choice for flexible learning

The IOSH Managing Safely e-learning course is based upon our
successful classroom course but the learning materials (prepared
by Astutis chartered health and safety tutor) have been
transformed by our learning designer and team of multimedia
developers into an interactive and flexible online learning and
assessment experience, which enables you to access and engage
with the course as you choose.
