The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) provides internationally recognised training and development services that equip professionals across the globe with critical skills in workplace health, safety, and wellbeing. IOSH’s flagship training programmes, including “Managing Safely,” “Working Safely,” and sector-specific courses, are designed to embed safety culture at all organisational levels. These courses are delivered by a network of licensed training providers operating in over 130 countries, ensuring consistent quality and accessibility. IOSH also offers tailored learning experiences to meet local regulatory contexts and industry needs, making its services highly adaptable across sectors from manufacturing to healthcare. Multilingual course materials, virtual learning options, and instructor-led formats give participants flexibility and support regardless of location. Each programme is built on IOSH’s robust framework for risk awareness, hazard control, and human factors—helping employers foster safer and more productive environments, while empowering individuals to take ownership of safety in their roles.

IOSH’s international training services go beyond traditional education to build the competencies required for real-world leadership in health and safety. Through its Continuing Professional Development (CPD) platform, IOSH enables professionals to track growth, gain certifications, and access exclusive development tools. Globally recognised Chartered Membership routes, such as Chartered Member (CMIOSH) and Chartered Fellow (CFIOSH), offer formal recognition of expertise and experience. IOSH works with international partners to provide region-specific training support, including translation services and custom content that reflects cultural and legislative variations. Its Open and In-Company courses are widely adopted by multinational organisations aiming to standardise safety practices across global operations. This emphasis on skills development enhances organisational resilience and ensures that safety protocols are aligned with ethical and operational priorities. IOSH’s commitment to lifelong learning, innovation and inclusivity makes it an essential partner for any organisation prioritising health and safety.

In developing economies and emerging markets, IOSH plays a catalytic role in strengthening safety infrastructure through training and advocacy. It actively collaborates with governments, NGOs and industry bodies to support workforce development and embed safety in national policy frameworks. IOSH’s training providers are carefully vetted to ensure compliance with its standards, and many are supported with capacity-building initiatives designed to increase impact at the local level. Outreach projects in regions such as Africa, South Asia and the Middle East deliver community-led training on workplace safety, mental health awareness, and environmental management. These programmes not only reduce injury and illness rates but also drive economic growth through enhanced workforce productivity. IOSH’s global presence empowers businesses and individuals alike to access the knowledge and skills needed to improve working conditions and uphold human dignity in the workplace, regardless of geography.

IOSH also harnesses digital technology to expand access and delivery of training services worldwide. Its online learning platform offers interactive modules, real-time assessment, and peer networking capabilities, allowing learners to engage with IOSH standards from any location. As remote work and international operations continue to evolve, IOSH remains at the forefront by offering scalable e-learning experiences that blend theory with practical application. Webinars, virtual conferences and bespoke digital courses cater to professionals at all stages of their careers, making the learning experience inclusive and dynamic. The organisation continually updates its digital curriculum to reflect emerging risks, regulatory changes, and global best practices. By investing in tech-enabled learning solutions, IOSH ensures that its international audience receives timely, relevant education that supports both individual advancement and organisational excellence. This approach underscores IOSH’s vision: a world of work that is safe, healthy and sustainable for all.
