IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) is the world’s biggest professional health and safety membership organisation. IOSH health and safety training courses are suitable for people of all levels in every sector and any organisation. Every year, around 100,000 employees gain an IOSH health and safety training qualification.
What is IOSH training?
IOSH level three is a globally recognised qualification that provides an understanding of safety and health in a business context. Undertaking an IOSH course will provide the delegate with the required technical knowledge and skills, which they can then use to apply to their own organisation.
