Managing
Safely
Having developed the revised standard Managing Safely course for IOSH in 1998, we have run large numbers throughout industry since then. This placed us in an ideal position to develop a new version of this highly popular course based on the sound management principles contained in OHSAS 18001. However, even if your management system is based on HSG65, or any other model, the principles still apply as we base the courses on generic HASTAM models which follow the Plan, Do, Check, Act approach.
The courses provide a proactive, risk based approach to health and safety management. Managing Safely is a highly cost effective means of providing general health and safety training for managers and supervisors. It includes both practical and written assessments.
Our fully revised courses contain new material developed from our detailed experience of the typical needs of managers, including
 |
behavioural safety and safety culture |
|
reliability of, and dependence on, risk controls |
|
demonstrating personal commitment. |
We have now launched two versions of the new Managing Safely based on OHSAS 18001, to reflect the position and role of the managers attending.

The version senior and middle managers follows the HASTAM Continual Improvement Model and places emphasis on the setting of OH&S objectives, preparation of OH&S management programmes and the measurement of performance.
