Cambridge Safety has been running the IOSH Managing Safely course for over 15 years and seen changes to the format of the course over this period of time, we are currently on version 5 of the course and it’s success and popularity has been increasing over the last 8 or so years.
At Cambridge Safety, we deliver the course as an open course for individual delegates to book onto – this gives a great range of different organisations and different industries represented and delegates gain additional knowledge from others experiences.
We also deliver the course as “In House” where we only teach the course to one organisation – the advantage here is that we can add in examples of the organisations documentation eg risk assessments, accident investigation etc
Since the beginning of 2021 we have delivered more than 60 In house courses and a total of more than 750 delegates (from in house and open courses) have passed the course!
So why book onto this course and why with Cambridge Safety?
