Training will be carried out by a qualified instructor using a combination of demonstrations, lectures and practical exersises, with a maximum of 12 delegates.

IOSH working Safely certificate will be awarded to delegates on successful completion.
This course is a 100% match to the HSE Passport syllabus and a photographic passport will be issued to successful delegates. A certificate can be obtained if required, however this will be charged at an extra cost set by IOSH of £10 per delegate.
