Why We Invest in IOSH Training

Posted on by mike

Whether you’re on the shop floor or managing a team. Knowing how to spot risks and handle emergencies can make all the difference. When you work with a supplier, you want things to be done right and be assured that they are being done up to a high standard of safety. That’s why IOSH training is so important.

That’s one of the reasons why we are committed and invest in IOSH training for our employees. That’s why all our production line-managers and other manufacturing staff complete and update their IOSH training. We renew this regularly as part of our commitment to workplace safety.

What is IOSH training?

IOSH stands for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. It’s a leading body in workplace safety, and their training is trusted by businesses across the UK.

It helps teach people how to spot risks early, act fast in emergencies, and support each other at work.

What does it cover?

This training helps covers a range of areas. Which is why our team knows how to:

  • Spot hazards before they cause harm

  • Carry out risk assessments

  • Respond to accidents and emergencies

  • Support mental health and wellbeing

  • Build and maintain a culture where safety comes first

IOSH training is widely recognised and respected. It’s often one of the first steps for anyone looking to build a career in health and safety.

The IOSH guiding principles

IOSH has a total of 10 guiding principles. Their features and responsibilities may vary as they are subject to relevant government and regulators, workers as well as businesses and duty holders. They identified the need for principles back in 2023/2024, with the first OSH principles having been drafted early 2024.

Of course, the work doesn’t just end there. IOSH continuously go back to these principles and amend them based on the latest feedback and reports.

Team receiving IOSH training

What are the 10 IOSH Principles?

IOSH created these principles to help everyone by providing them with a foundation to work from to create safer and healthier workplaces. Here’s a quick look at what their guiding principles are:

  1. Prevention
    Most accidents and illnesses at work can be avoided. The goal is to spot the hazard that could cause harm or illness before it happens.

  2. Worker Rights
    Everyone has the right to feel safe and supported at work.

  3. Accountability
    Clear roles and responsibilities help make sure safety isn’t left up in the air and those responsible can act quickly.

  4. Commitment
    Strong leadership and clear policies show that safety is taken seriously.

  5. Collaboration
    When people work together safety becomes part of the culture naturally.

  6. Evidence-Based Action
    Good decisions come from reliable data. That’s why IOSH encourages using facts and feedback to manage risks.

  7. Sharing Knowledge
    Safety improves when people share what they know. The more we share with each other, the better we’re able to perform as a team not just individually.

  8. Learning and Improving
    Mistakes and near-misses are chances to learn and do better next time.

  9. Rehabilitation
    If someone gets hurt or becomes unwell, they should be and feel supported back into work safely at the advice of doctors for their wellbeing.

  10. Fairness and Respect
    Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. No matter their background or job title.

IOSH Training FAQs

Is IOSH training recognised internationally, or only within the UK?

IOSH training is internationally recognised and valued by employers worldwide. While IOSH is a UK-based organisation, its certifications are respected in more than 130 countries and are available in several languages. Many global businesses use IOSH qualifications as part of their health and safety training for staff, especially within diverse supply chains and multinational operations. Having IOSH-certified team members demonstrates a commitment to global safety standards.

What is the difference between IOSH and other health and safety certifications (like NEBOSH)?

Both IOSH and NEBOSH are well-respected in health and safety, but they are for different audiences and purposes. IOSH is primarily a membership organisation and offers shorter, practical courses suitable for all staff levels like managers and those new to health and safety.

On the other hand NEBOSH is an awarding body that provides in-depth, longer courses and globally recognised qualifications. Aimed at people pursuing or advancing a dedicated career in health and safety management. NEBOSH courses generally go deeper into theory and are often required for senior or specialised positions. While IOSH emphasises practical and broad safety training that is ideal for building a strong safety culture throughout any organisation.
