About the course
Course Overview
IOSH Managing Safely Refresher is a one-day course for managers and supervisors who have already passed IOSH Managing Safely. It brings their knowledge back up to date, reminds them of the habits that keep people safe, and shows their employer, clients and auditors that their competence is current. IOSH recommends a refresher around three years after the full course, and many customers, frameworks and accreditation schemes now expect one.
Why it matters
Why Refresh Your Training
Passing the course once is a good start. Keeping it current is what customers, auditors and insurers look for.
- Certificates go stale Customers, tenders and accreditation schemes increasingly ask when a manager last trained, not just whether they did.
- Knowledge fades Three years on, most managers have forgotten detail they once knew well. One day puts it back at the front of their mind.
- Workplaces change New processes, new people and new risks since the original course. The refresher is applied to how you work today.
- It shows you take it seriously Refresher training is clear evidence that you keep managers competent, which is what an insurer, auditor or inspector will look for.
Learning outcomes
What You Will Learn

- Assess risks and choose sensible, proportionate controls
- Explain their legal duties as a manager and why they matter

- Investigate incidents and near misses to find the real cause

Assessment and certificate

Who Should Attend
Anyone who holds an IOSH Managing Safely certificate and manages people, processes or sites: managers, supervisors, team leaders and site leads in any sector. Ideally delegates passed Managing Safely around three years ago. If it has been much longer, or a delegate never completed the full course, we will tell you honestly whether the full three-day course is the better choice.
