IOSH Working Safely Passport
Online, in-person or virtual training
IOSH Working Safely Passport offers comprehensive coverage of workplace health and safety essentials, encompassing topics such as manual handling, working at height, stress management, proper use of display screen equipment, and more. It serves as an excellent component of induction programs for new hires, providing a foundational understanding. Additionally, it can be a precursor for employees planning to undertake specialised training tailored to their roles, such as Display Screen Equipment Training or Working at Height Training.
IOSH Working Safely Passport offers the same Working Safely course, but on successful completion of the IOSH Working Safely course a passport can be issued along with the certificate. The passport displays photo ID and the certificate number.
The IOSH Working Safely Passport can be placed in a lanyard or wallet, so it can be presented when needed, for example when there is a requirement to gain site access.
