From 1^st April, Aberystwyth University will be an Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) accredited training provider. IOSH is considered one of the market leaders for health and safety training, with its courses internationally recognised and accepted.  

The Health, Safety and Environment department will be introducing IOSH Working Safely and Managing Safely training courses over the coming months. Working Safely is a one-day course which provides a grounding in health and safety for people at any level, and any sector. It focuses on best practice, and asks individuals to consider the importance of health and safety in the workplace, alongside how individuals can make a difference to health and safety through their behaviours.

Managing Safely is a five day course for managers and supervisors, which focuses on the practical actions needed to manage health and safety in their teams. The course will demonstrate how health and safety considerations are an essential part of a management or supervisory role.

Information relating to registering and attending one of these courses will be communicated to relevant individuals in due course. For any further information, please contact the Health, Safety and Environment department at hasstaff@aber.ac.uk.
