Managing health and safety requires an understanding of the key legal requirements for health and safety, and the ability to manage practical health and safety issues in the workplace. The Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is Europe’s leading body for health and safety professionals. The well-regarded IOSH courses are founded on best practice, giving delegate’s practical skills and knowledge to take back to their own places of work.

Employers are responsible for providing safe and healthy workplace conditions as well as the right systems and methods for safe activities. Nevertheless, employees also have a vital part to play in the equation. They need the right knowledge and the right attitude which demands proper training in the basics of health and safety, as well as specific training for individual tasks.
