Managing Safely

Introduction
This assessment guidance contains everything you need to deliver the
Managing Safely end-of-course assessments. If at any point you need help with the
assessments, please call our training verifier team on +44 (0)116 257 3193 or email
them at [email protected].

Your responsibilities as a training provider


You must make sure that key people involved with IOSH training and assessments have
current and relevant information. The nominated IOSH member should ensure that the
IOSH standards are adhered to and cascaded to relevant people. Only IOSH-approved
trainers should deliver the training and the assessments.

Assessment procedures
Every delegate who has attended all seven modules should take the end-of-course
assessments. These assessments test the course learning objectives and consist of:
• an invigilated, closed-book, end-of-course multi-format question paper – completed on
the last day of the course
• a risk assessment project – usually completed in the workplace and returned to the
training provider within two weeks of the last day of the course. The project can be
completed using either the IOSH project template or a copy of a blank company risk
assessment form from a delegate’s own organisation, providing it meets the criteria
outlined on the project marking scheme guidance.

Both of these assessments must be the delegate’s own work.

Assessment bank
This guidance contains:
• a risk assessment project template
• marking schemes for all of the assessments
• a copy of the project guidance that the delegates will need.

We recommend that you use a different multi-format assessment paper for delegates to
avoid chances of plagiarism.

The blank assessment papers, blank IOSH project papers and the delegate guidance on
the project can be printed in PDF format from the documents library found in the Course
Management System.

Mock assessments
There are two mock assessments, each containing five questions. These papers present
a range of question types and we recommend that you use both papers in every course
so that delegates experience all styles of questions. These mock papers can also be
used as knowledge checks.
• Mock assessment 1 has questions relating to modules 1 to 5
• Mock assessment 2 has questions relating to modules 5 to 7

The mock assessment papers must be kept by the trainer – the delegate must not take
them away from the training room.

Marking assessments
Both the multi-format assessment paper and the risk assessment project should be
marked according to the marking schemes provided in this folder. The 5 x 5 risk matrix
must be used for the IOSH risk assessment project template. If a delegate is using their
own company risk assessment form, they should also use their company risk rating
system and provide the training provider with a copy to be referred to when marking.

To be eligible for a Managing Safely certificate, delegates must:


• attend all seven modules
• achieve the minimum mark on the multi-format assessment paper – this is 36 out of 60
• achieve the minimum mark on the project – this is 23 out of 38
• have a total score of 60 or more.

What to do if a delegate fails


If a delegate doesn’t pass either the multi-format assessment paper or the project
assessment, you have two options:

The delegate needs to retake an end-assessment


1. Tell the delegate that they haven’t passed and let them know how they can retake the
assessment. If appropriate, you can show them the marked assessment and discuss
the marking. If you do this, you should make sure the delegate knows about the IOSH
appeals procedure.
The delegate needs to attend another course
2. Tell the delegate that they haven’t passed and can’t receive a certificate. As with
option 1, you can show the delegate the marked assessment and discuss it with them.

If you think that re-assessment is appropriate, you can ask the delegate to complete a
different multi-format assessment paper and/or a new risk assessment project. This is
usually within 20 working days of the original assessment.
If the delegate passes this re-assessment, submit their details in the usual way, quoting
the original course reference number.
If the delegate fails the re-assessment, you can show them the marked assessments
and discuss it with them, but they won’t be able to take another assessment unless they
attend another full Managing Safely course.

IOSH appeals procedure


If a delegate disagrees with the marks awarded at any stage, they can appeal. It’s your
responsibility to follow your own appeals procedure before advising the delegate to
contact IOSH.
Your delegates must be made aware what their options are at each stage of the
following procedure.
If a delegate wants to appeal against the marks you’ve awarded, there’s a five-stage
process.
• Follow your own appeals process and if it cannot be resolved move to the next stage
• Give the delegate a copy of the assessment paper in question
• Ask them to write to IOSH, explaining the grounds for the appeal and enclosing the
relevant assessment papers.
IOSH will:
• Moderate (or re-moderate) the assessment paper
• Let you and the delegate know the decision in writing within seven working days of
receiving the appeal. The decision is final.

We recommend that you keep a written record of the outcomes for auditing purposes.

Post-course administration
Quality assurance
You are responsible for all aspects of the assessment process for the Managing Safely
course. You must store delegate assessment papers securely, as stated in your IOSH
Training Provider Terms and Conditions of Licence.
As part of our quality assurance process, we may choose to moderate some or all of the
assessments used on the course. We’ll ask you to send us the assessments and the
delegate feedback and, as a result of our moderation, we may alter the marks you’ve
awarded.
If a delegate’s score is reduced to less than the minimum marks for either assessment,
we’ll let you know so that a re-assessment can be arranged.

Certificates
You must provide the IOSH-produced certificate to all delegates who have completed a
Managing Safely course and passed the relevant assessments. We number and date all
certificates and they’re signed on behalf of IOSH before we send them to you.

Course review
We have a policy of continual improvement and welcome any feedback from delegates
and trainers on the course materials or the training delivery. You can email trainer
feedback to [email protected]
