What is IOSH Managing Safely?

The IOSH Managing Safely course is designed to provide managers with the practical knowledge they need to effectively manage health and safety within their teams.

By completing this course, our leadership team has strengthened their expertise in maintaining a safe working environment and protecting both our staff and clients from potential risks.

Why This Certification Matters

We take a meticulous approach to every aspect of our work, and health and safety is no exception. Achieving IOSH certification ensures that our Operations Managers and Divisional Directors are not only skilled in maintaining compliance but are also passionate about driving continuous improvement in safety standards.

  • Identify hazards before they become a risk
  • Conduct thorough risk assessments that ensure the safety of our workplaces

This expert knowledge allows us to anticipate and mitigate risks, ensuring smooth, safe operations across all of our cleaning sites.
