The assessment for IOSH Managing Safely is broken down into two parts:
Part 1: End of Course Assessment (Exam)
Part 2: Risk Assessment Project (Practical Assessment)
PART 1: End of Course Assessment
The end of course exam is a closed book, end of course multi-format question paper consisting of 30 questions. Although you only have to complete one exam, there are four versions that will be distributed evenly between students, meaning most students will have a slightly different examination paper to you.
The paper is marked out of 60, the minimum passmark is 36. Students have 1 hour to complete the exam.
To prepare for the end of course exam we strongly recommend you complete the following mock assessment:
PART 2: Risk Assessment Project
All delegates who complete the Managing safely course will have to submit a completed risk assessment project in addition to the multi-format question paper.
This must be your own work – either hand-written or typed – on the appropriate template/form. The project must be completed and returned within two weeks of the course end-date.
The whole project should reinforce your learning on the course by applying what you’ve learned in a practical way. The risk assessment project is broken down into a number of stages, which should flow from start to finish, telling a complete story of the work area and the hazards, risks and their required controls within it.
Your report must include:
A brief description of the work area being assessed
A brief description of the tasks being performed in the work area
A listing of at least four (4) hazards in the work area, with each one followed through the risk assessment process.
You will need to:
List who may be harmed by the hazard
State how they may be harmed
Describe the risk controls already in place
Calculate a risk rating – using the IOSH 5 x 5 matrix or appropriate company-specific system
Describe any additional controls needed
Calculate a risk rating for the new controls (the residual risk)
State who will action or monitor any further controls
State when the actions of monitoring needs to take place.
We strongly recommend you download, read and follow the below documents and our own guidance (above, and available in PDF below) when completing your Risk Assessment Project.
