Personal development

ISAC (UK) Ltd was established back in 1993 and has provided professional development training courses directly for IOSH for over 25 years.

RRC is delighted to offer the new IOSH Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing certificate. 

Robert Gordon University’s (RGU) MSc in Health, Safety and Risk (HSR) Management has been designed in collaboration with practitioners to study the management, rather than simply the technical applications, of this rapidly expanding area of expertise.

Training that mixes distance-learning and face-to-face tuition works wonders as long as it is personalised.

OSH professionals can be effective influencers of positive change in the workplace but first should reflect on how their behaviours may be perceived by others. 

Building a career in safety and health management is a marathon not a sprint. The journey could take 40 years, but if you run even slightly off course for long enough, you will find yourself far from your intended destination.To avoid looking back on a career and regretting either missed opportunities or a sense of not having reached their potential, practitioners have to map their professional routes.

Trainers have their own version of the iterative four-step management method, “plan, do, check, act”, which is to analyse needs, design training, deliver training and evaluate (see figure at the bottom). Many companies spend money and time on the first three steps, then neglect the fourth. A lot of training receives only a token check or none at all.Three of the most common problems are: not building evaluation in from the start; relying on course delegate feedback (“happy sheets”); and where training is just one of several measures to resolve a safety issue.
