Executive summary

IOSH’s research shows that employers want their safety and health professionals to become agents of change, with the ability to apply their technical knowledge with well-honed core and soft skills.

This qualification has already supported organisations to integrate safety and health fully within their business operations and across their value chain.

Why is it right for your business?Our course can set your business on the path to success. But we don’t expect you to invest in it without a great deal of thought. We recognise that businesses must consider all the pros and cons when making decisions. In an increasingly competitive market place, businesses have to find ways to gain that all-important edge. Here are some of the ways our course can help:

1. It’s business-centred Our course doesn’t just teach the theory of safety and health, it ensures that students have a firm knowledge of how businesses operate and how safety and health decisions can impact an orgnisation. Successful learners will understand a strategic, business-focused approach to safety and health and know how to influence a safety and health culture in your organisation.

How do we know it does this? The course was developed in consultation with leading employers, using their expertise to ensure it hits the right notes.

2. It’s relevant to your business Successful learners won’t just know about the impact of safety and health on business operations; they’ll know how it impacts on your business.

Essentially, your employees will learn essential safety and health practice related to where they work and the jobs they do. Assessments are based on projects and practical work directly relevant to each learner’s workplace. We teach your risk assessment, not our risk assessment.
