Health and Safety Training for Managers The Irish Way to Manage Safety, Certified Nationwide

A manager's signature sits on the safety statement, the training records and the risk assessments, and when the Health and Safety Authority walks in, that signature is where the questions begin. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 does not let safety live in a folder: it expects the people who direct the work to understand the hazards, assess them and control them, every ordinary week of the year. Step by step, the course breaks that risk down and walks you through the controls that eliminate it. This course hands you that understanding across nineteen practical modules. It opens with the law itself, the 2005 Act and the General Application Regulations 2007 and what each one asks of employers, managers and employees. It then teaches the five step risk assessment and the safety statement, the two documents every Irish workplace stands on. From there it works hazard by hazard through a manager's real week: slips, trips and falls, working at height, display screen equipment, welfare facilities, fire safety, hazardous substances, work equipment, machinery, noise, vibration, workplace transport, electricity, manual handling, PPE, first aid, wellbeing and safety culture. Real workplaces, clear photographs and video lessons carry every module.

The short answer is Sections 8 and 10. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 obliges every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of employees, and to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision people need to work safely. Those duties reach the workplace through its managers, one decision at a time, and this course prepares managers to carry them. We built our course directly around that wording, so it genuinely fulfils the duty instead of merely nodding toward it.

Everyone who carries responsibility for people, premises or work activities: managers and supervisors in every industry, team leaders moving up, business owners and directors who hold the employer duties personally, HR professionals who keep the training records, and anyone preparing for their first management role. The course starts from zero, so no previous health and safety knowledge is expected.

The Health and Safety Training for Managers costs €35.00 per person, with nothing added on top. Volume discounts apply automatically to team bookings, and any 5 different courses come to a flat €100 (our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses are the exception and keep their own price), all under a single account and a single invoice for your records.

Yes. Every part of the course runs online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. No classroom day, no set start time: sign up, log in and start the Health and Safety Training for Managers whenever suits, at home or during a break at work. Your progress is saved automatically along the way.

Around 8-9 hours, and one sitting is not required. Because progress saves as you move through, you can pause after any lesson and continue later on a different device. The moment you pass, your certificate is ready to download.

The instant you pass the exam, day or night, your Health and Safety Training for Managers certificate downloads as a PDF. It carries your name, the course title, the date and a verification link, letting any employer or inspector confirm it within seconds. A copy remains in your account for reprinting whenever needed.

We recommend renewing every three years, or sooner if your team, premises, processes or the law changes. The date is tracked for you, with a reminder sent before it lapses, meaning no certificate on your team quietly runs out. The refresher is the same short online course, so keeping compliant never eats a working day.

No harm done. Retake the exam as often as you need, free of charge, and revisit any lesson before another attempt. Most people pass on the first try, since the questions cover precisely what the course just taught.

Assessment here is by examination rather than a practical, since the competence being built is judgement, not physical technique. Exam attempts are unlimited and never cost anything extra.

Yes, the platform was designed exactly for this. A single company account covers all employees, shows at a glance who has completed and who has not, keeps every certificate together and issues one invoice for everything. Volume discounts apply automatically in the cart for group bookings, and any 5 different courses come to a flat €100 (our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses are the exception and keep their own price).

They do. As an officially accredited provider, we issue certificates carrying a verification link inspectors can check within seconds. Employers throughout Ireland, the UK and the EU recognise it, backed by our accreditations: Irish Legislation Aligned, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.

The full management picture, across nineteen modules: the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the responsibilities it assigns to employers, managers and employees; the five step risk assessment, the hierarchy of control and the safety statement; and then the hands on management of every major hazard a workplace can hold, from slips, trips and falls, working at height, display screen equipment and welfare facilities to fire safety, hazardous substances, work equipment and machinery, noise, vibration, workplace transport, electrical safety, manual handling, PPE, first aid, wellbeing and occupational health, and the safety culture that ties it all together.

Yes, in practice. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 obliges every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of employees, and to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision that keeps people safe. Managers are the ones who deliver those duties on the ground, which means they need the working knowledge to assess risks, maintain the safety statement and control everyday hazards. This course provides that knowledge and the verifiable certificate that proves it, aligned with HSA guidance.

The course turns the legal text into a manager's checklist: provide safe systems of work, safe equipment and a safe workplace; identify hazards, assess the risks and record everything in the safety statement; give employees information, instruction, training and supervision; supply PPE at no cost; assess first aid needs and appoint the right people; consult employees on safety decisions; and report serious incidents to the Health and Safety Authority. Each module shows how these duties surface in ordinary decisions, from approving a new machine to planning a busy week.

Twenty multiple choice questions, three options each, drawn from all nineteen modules. The pass mark is 75 percent, so 15 correct answers out of 20 earn the certificate. The test has no time limit, and if an attempt falls short you can reread any module and retake the exam free, as many times as it takes. The certificate generates the instant you pass.

The second the pass screen appears. The certificate is generated automatically, sent to your email and filed on the Certificates page of your account, complete with a unique code any employer or inspector can verify online. The course itself runs about 8-9 hours, which most managers split across a few sittings, and the certificate holds for 3 years.

Anyone the organisation looks to when something needs deciding: managers and supervisors across construction, manufacturing, logistics, retail, hospitality, healthcare and offices, team leaders taking their first step up, owners and directors who carry the employer duties in their own name, and HR professionals responsible for training records. Nothing needs to be known in advance; the nineteen modules build from the ground up and cover every hazard a manager is likely to meet.

Yes. The whole programme is delivered 100 percent online, so a production manager in Sligo receives the identical accredited training and certificate as a facilities director in Dublin. Start on the office laptop, continue on your phone between meetings and finish at the kitchen table; progress syncs across devices by itself, and the certificate is recognised by employers throughout Ireland, the UK and the EU.
