IOSH Managing Safely: Essential Training for Supervisors and Line Managers

by | May 12, 2025 | Industry Insights | 0 comments

Line managers and supervisors play a vital role in workplace health and safety. Yet, many are promoted into these positions without any formal training in safety leadership or management responsibilities. That’s where the IOSH Managing Safely course comes in.

Offered by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), this certified course is designed specifically for line managers, supervisors, and anyone with responsibility for influencing or controlling others in the workplace. It’s one of the most respected and widely delivered health and safety training programmes available.

At Compass HSC, we deliver this course monthly—and consistently receive outstanding feedback from delegates across a wide range of industries. Whether your organisation operates in construction, manufacturing, logistics, care, or professional services, the course delivers lasting value and practical insight.

The IOSH Managing Safely course runs over three days and consists of seven structured modules:

  1. Introducing Managing Safely
  2. Assessing Risk
  3. Controlling Risk
  4. Understanding Your Responsibilities
  5. Common Hazards
  6. Investigating Accidents and Incidents
  7. Measuring Performance

Each participant receives a comprehensive workbook to support their learning, and the course includes both an assessment and a practical risk assessment project.

Not only does the training equip managers with the tools they need to carry out their duties safely and effectively—it also provides organisations with vital protection against liability. Ensuring that front-line leaders are informed, trained, and confident can significantly reduce incidents and the risk of prosecution.
