At Jewel Safety, we often get asked about the difference between IOSH Managing Safely and IOSH Working Safely, and which one best suits different roles in the workplace.


Here’s a simple breakdown:


👉 IOSH Managing Safely


Designed for: Managers, supervisors, team leaders and anyone with an interest in health and safety

Duration: 3 days (over consecutive days or spread over three weeks)

Covers: Risk assessment, responsibilities, incident investigation, and compliance

Key benefit: Empowers leaders to take control of health and safety in their teams


See our IOSH Managing Safely page for full course details


👉 IOSH Working Safely


Designed for: All employees, across all sectors

Duration: 1 day

Covers: Basic hazard awareness, responsibilities, and workplace risks

Key benefit: Builds a solid safety culture from the ground up


See our IOSH Working Safely page for full course details.


Both are accredited by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and lead to a recognised certificate.


📍 Based in Hull or East Yorkshire? We deliver both onsite at your premises, or online via Zoom.
