Book IOSH Working Safely Course with live availability across the UK. Delivered by accredited providers, with transparent pricing and instant confirmation.
IOSH Working Safely is a 1-day course for workers in any industry, from construction and manufacturing to offices and warehouses. It is one of the most widely recognised entry-level health and safety certificates in the world, awarded by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). The course covers everyone's personal responsibility for safety, the difference between a hazard and a risk, the common hazards found in any workplace, and how to work without harming yourself, your colleagues or the environment.
It is the entry point to the IOSH range and a natural first step before the 3-day IOSH Managing Safely course for anyone who goes on to supervise or manage others. Unlike the CITB Site Safety Plus courses, IOSH Working Safely is not construction-specific, which makes it a good fit for mixed workforces and businesses that want one consistent safety grounding across every department.
A note on CSCS cards: IOSH Working Safely was once accepted as a route to the CSCS Green Labourer card, but that changed in March 2020 and it is no longer accepted. If you need a Green Labourer card to work on a construction site, take the CITB Health and Safety Awareness course or the Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment course instead, alongside the CITB HS&E test. The CSCS Cards guide explains the routes.
The certificate does not expire, although IOSH recommends refreshing your knowledge every three years.
