Courses For Managing Health and Safety

[DavidMalan]

My friend took a few general safety courses as a manager but he needs to make sure that he is covering all bases as plenty of time has passed since then. Will an iosh managing safely refresher be viable? Could I get more details on this? Does it cover everything he needs, such as fire safety?

Would it not be an idea to ask the course provider exactly what it does and does not cover?

No. Whilst in similar fields Health & Safety and Fire Safety are different and the syllabus of most H&S courses (including IOSH Managing Safely) would not be suffcient for them to understand their duties under fire safety legislation.

This is a better starter course https://iosh.com/employees/awareness-courses/fire-safety-for-managers/

That is good and I will recommend him to take this IOSH course. however, he already did a course of IOSH managing safely refresher from a reputable e-learning provider.
