What Does the IOSH Course Cover?
This IOSH course has been designed in partnership with business leaders in order to impart the maximum value to the organisations and individuals which partake in it.
Crucially, the IOSH Leading Safely course will equip participants with the skills to benchmark their current and future health and safety performance. Using this information, they’ll be able to compare themselves to global standards, and work out how to make incremental improvements which will allow them to achieve their health and safety potential.
During the course, the following topics will be covered:
- The role of leadership positions in bolstering health and safety performance

- Improvements that can be made to an organisation to achieve superior performance.
Once you’ve finished the course, you’ll be able to:
- Refer to best practices from different parts in the world
- Establish and complete the steps required to achieve your target health and safety performance
- Compare your performance against that of other organisations
Improved health and safety is a good thing in and of itself. But it’ll also bring about several commercial benefits:
- Fewer accidents
- Fewer sick days
- Better performance
- A better public image for your business
- Less money spent on legal fees
- Continuity for your business
How is the Course Graded?
Before completing the IOSH Leading Safely course, participants will use a special diagnostic tool, accessed via smartphone application. This tool will, using a series of questions, establish the current health and safety position of the learner, before presenting them with recommendations for future action. At the end of the course, the learner will put together a ‘personal action plan’, charting the shortest route between their current and ideal health and safety positions.
What will Learners Get?
The course will see learners use a smartphone app to access their special diagnostic tool. But this isn’t the only benefit they’ll be able to take away; with regular access to health and safety leadership, advice and commentary, learners will be able to keep abreast of developments in the industry and remain at the cutting edge of health and safety.
How Long is the Course?
The IOSH Leading Safely course lasts for around five hours, and so you’ll need to set aside an entire day.
