As a result of taking an IOSH course, employees can ensure their own working practices are safe, resulting in an overall safer working environment.

IOSH Working Safely is designed to be taken by employees working in all sectors, in companies of any size . It aims to enhance health, safety and well-being by improving employee behaviour. Companies will naturally see a positive health & safety culture develop, directly improving the overall operating performance with a safety aware workforce.
