IOSH Managing Safely – Virtual

IOSH Managing Safely Online – Live Virtual Training

Our IOSH Managing Safely virtual course gives managers and supervisors the opportunity to complete this internationally recognised qualification through live, instructor-led online training. Delivered in real time, the course mirrors the structure, interaction and learning outcomes of a classroom course — without the need to travel.

The virtual IOSH Managing Safely course is delivered over three days using a live online classroom via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Delegates join a scheduled session with an experienced IOSH trainer, take part in discussions and group activities, and work through practical exercises designed to reflect real workplace scenarios.

Because the course is delivered live, delegates can ask questions, share experiences and receive guidance throughout the programme. This makes virtual IOSH Managing Safely training ideal for remote teams, home workers and organisations with staff based across multiple locations.

Our open virtual IOSH Managing Safely courses run regularly throughout the year. Simply choose a suitable date, book online and receive your joining instructions automatically. For organisations with multiple delegates, we can also deliver private virtual group courses on dates that suit your business.

What to Expect from Virtual IOSH Managing Safely Training

This is not a passive online course. Our virtual IOSH Managing Safely training is designed to keep delegates engaged and involved from start to finish. The programme focuses on practical health and safety management rather than theory-heavy or legal jargon.

Delegates work through clear, structured modules covering real-world responsibilities faced by managers and supervisors. Interactive exercises, quizzes and scenario-based discussions help reinforce learning and ensure knowledge can be applied immediately in the workplace.

Although the course is delivered online, the learning experience remains collaborative. Delegates train alongside other managers, guided by an expert IOSH trainer who leads each session and supports learning throughout the course.

The course is delivered in real time by an experienced trainer and follows the same structure, learning outcomes and assessment standards as face-to-face training.

Live Online IOSH Managing Safely – How It Works

Our virtual IOSH Managing Safely course runs over three live online sessions, delivered via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Delegates log in at set times, interact with the trainer and work through real workplace scenarios alongside other managers.

Because the course is live, delegates can ask questions throughout, share experiences and receive guidance just as they would in a classroom environment. This makes virtual IOSH Managing Safely training ideal for remote teams, multi-site organisations and individuals who prefer to train from home or the workplace.

Is the Virtual IOSH Managing Safely Certificate the Same?

Yes. The IOSH Managing Safely certificate gained through virtual training is exactly the same as the certificate awarded for classroom-based courses.

IOSH does not differentiate between delivery methods. The qualification, assessment process and certification are identical, meaning virtual training carries the same recognition and professional value.

Modules

• Introducing Managing Safely – some managers may see health and safety as an add-on to their role, even an intrusion. The first module makes it clear that managers are accountable for their teams.
• Assessing Risks – this module defines and demystifies ‘risk’ and ‘risk assessment’. Risk assessments and a simple scoring system are introduced, and delegates carry out a series of assessments.
• Controlling Risks – here the session tackles cutting risks down, concentrating on the best techniques to control key risks, and how to choose the right method.
• Understanding Your Responsibilities – the demands of the law and how the legal system works, and introduces a health and system management system.
• Identifying Hazards – all the main issues any operation has to deal with are covered in this module – entrances and exits, work traffic, fire, chemicals, electricity, physical and verbal abuse, bullying, stress, noise, housekeeping and the working environment.
• Investigating Accidents and Incidents – the session starts with why accidents should be investigated, and goes on to cover why things go wrong, and how to carry out an investigation when they do.
• Measuring Performance – this module explains how checking performance can help to improve health and safety. Delegates learn how to develop basic performance indicators, and get to grips with auditing and proactive and reactive measuring.
• Risk Assessment Task – this is an additional module in comparison to the classroom and virtual courses. Here you will be given all the advice a guidance that a delegate would in the classroom or virtually, that you will need to complete the risk assessment to complete the course. You will find videos, and interactive activities within this module giving a step-by-step guide.
