IOSH Managing Safely
Many organisations invest in safety training, and still struggle with inconsistent application on-site, limited supervisor ownership, and knowledge that never translates into action. This programme is built to close that gap.

IOSH Managing Safely provides a structured foundation for supervisors and managers responsible for day-to-day operations. Delivered over three days, the programme focuses on practical examples, real scenarios from your environment, and applying concepts directly at the point of work, not just in the classroom.
This is not a generic IOSH course run from a standard slide deck. Training is built around the operational contexts your supervisors actually face, with discussion and real decision-making at the centre of every session.
- Delivered on-site at your facility or live online
- Available for small teams and large cohorts
- Tailored to your industry and operational context
- Delivered on-request: no fixed dates
- Presented exclusively by Peter McNair CFIOSH
Programme schedule
The three-day programme is structured around practical application and real-scenario discussion:
Hazard identification and risk
Understanding risk and hazard identification in real work situations, not just definitions, but how hazards manifest in your specific operational environment.
Risk assessment and controls
Applying risk assessment methodology and control measures to day-to-day operations: proportionate, practical, and usable by the supervisors responsible for implementing them.
Incident investigation
Investigating incidents and near misses to identify root causes: understanding why things go wrong, not just what went wrong.
Supervisor responsibility
Strengthening supervisor decision-making and accountability: building the confidence to lead safety on-site rather than defer upward or ignore what they see.
Translating learning to on-site action
The final session focuses entirely on transferring learning into immediate, practical actions that delegates can apply when they return to site: not aspirations for the future.
Built for operational managers
- Supervisors & line managers
- Team leads & shift managers
- Engineers with safety responsibility
- Technical staff managing risk
- Anyone accountable for on-site safety
Organisations typically engage when
- Setting up a new company, project, or contract
- Subcontractor teams are being integrated with main clients
- An incident or near miss has exposed a supervisor capability gap
- Audit findings show safety knowledge isn't translating to behaviour
- Periods of operational change or team expansion
- Supervisor-level safety ownership needs to be strengthened
Operational and business impact
Fewer incidents and near misses
Supervisors who understand risk and act on it consistently reduce the conditions that produce incidents: before they happen.
Stronger audit readiness
Teams that apply safety procedures consistently perform better under regulatory scrutiny: not because they're coached to, but because they understand why it matters.
Reduced operational disruption
Organisations with higher supervisor ownership of safety experience less disruption caused by reactive responses to unsafe conditions or incidents.
Better return on training investment
IOSH Managing Safely is not treated as a standalone course. It is delivered as part of a practical approach to improving how safety is managed on-site: the outcome is behaviour change, not a certificate.

Health and safety training to real on-site behaviour.
This programme is delivered exclusively by Peter McNair: Chartered Fellow of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health and a globally recognised HSE consultant with more than five decades of experience.
Peter's background includes a 30-year Royal Air Force career in safety-critical environments: environments where safety failures have immediate and irreversible operational consequences. His 26 years in civilian consulting span aviation, oil and gas, construction, government, and education, including the development of competency-based HSE training programmes for universities, training institutes, and industry.
This experience shapes a delivery approach focused on one outcome: safety training that translates into consistent on-site behaviour: not knowledge that stays in the classroom.
Founder and first Chairman of the IOSH Oman Branch
Peter McNair founded the IOSH Oman Branch in 2013 and served as its inaugural Chairman: organising the first IOSH Middle East Annual Conference, lobbying the Omani government for IOSH member recognition, and establishing the branch under the patronage of the Ministry of Manpower.
