In the UK, St John Ambulance is one of the voluntary aid societies (VAS) who are recognised by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) as standard setters for first aid training in accordance with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. We don't require external accreditation through an awarding organisation.

IOSH stands for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. It is a UK based professional body that promotes and supports high standards of health and safety in the workplace. It is a leading professional body for health and safety practitioners worldwide. Our IOSH Managing Safely course is accredited by the institute, and successful delegates receive a recognised qualification.

IOSH Managing Safely is a Level 2 qualification, which makes it comparable in level to a GCSE. It's an entry level health and safety course aimed at those who have workplace health and safety responsibilities. It is suitable for managers, supervisors, and individuals at the early stages of their careers who have health and safety responsibilities.

There are two components you need to pass in order to obtain the IOSH Managing Safely certificate. First, there is a multiple-choice test, which you will need to score at least 36/60 to pass. There is also a risk assessment practical, which requires a minimum score of 23 out of 38. St John Ambulance Cymru's expert-trained staff are industry leaders in providing IOSH Managing Safely training. We will provide you with all the necessary information, guidance and support to help you reach the requirements to obtain this qualification.

The IOSH Managing Safely course aims to equip delegates with a clear understanding of essential occupational safety principles in the workplace. Upon completion, participants are expected to have developed a heightened awareness of their role in promoting a safe working environment. Learning outcomes include the ability to identify and assess workplace hazards, implement effective risk control measures, and understand the importance of legal compliance.

Certificates obtained through this or any other IOSH course do not expire. However, after 3 years you may wish to consider taking a Managing Safely refresher course. This helps ensure that your occupational health and safety knowledge remains up to date.

We offer the IOSH Working Safely course, which is suitable for all employees regardless of industry or job level. IOSH Working Safely is a 1-day course that teaches basic health and safety principles and explains how both individual and group efforts play a role in maintaining a safe workplace. Delegates will receive an IOSH certificate upon successful completion of the course.

We offer the IOSH Managing Safely course at our training centres across Wales. For groups of six or more, we can come to you to deliver the training.
