Gaining an IOSH course is popular for a reason - because they raise an awareness of all employees' health and safety responsibilities at any level which can help develop a positive culture in the workplace.
All IOSH courses provide a greater understanding of what makes a safe and healthy workplace. This brings great company and individual benefits.
It can improve productivity and reduce down time and business costs. Quite often, taking on additional courses also provides staff something to focus on and take as their own. Providing this kind of opportunity will enhance staff motivation and happiness, which is reason enough to get your staff certified.
There are similar non-accredited certifications available for your staff. However, the benefits of choosing an IOSH approved course over a non-accredited alternative are significant.
Non-accredited courses are known as a form of non-formal learning and in most cases, will not lead to formal certification.

More broadly, the most cost-effective option for all courses is the Online learning method. Not only does it cost less, but the course also eliminates any hidden costs that come with face-to-face training, such as travel, accommodation and food. Classroom is typically the most expensive option, and virtual classroom learning offers a middle ground between the two.
Which Health and Safety training course is right for me?
For smaller businesses with minimal health and safety risks, the IOSH Managing Safely or Working Safely course is an excellent starting point. We suggest the NEBOSH General Certificate for medium-risk levels in small businesses and low-risk in large or multi-scale organizations. This qualification delivers a solid foundation for occupational safety and health professionals. For high-level health and safety risks, whether in small-sized organizations, large sites or multi-site operations, the NEBOSH Level 6 Diploma is the essential qualification.
This course ensures that students are highly competent health and safety professionals and can confidently manage complex health, safety and environmental challenges intuitively. Whether you decide to select IOSH or NEBOSH qualifications, the priority is to ensure that it aligns with your organization’s size and level of health and safety risk present.
