Just launched from British Safety Council is a new training course, Health, Safety and Wellbeing for Managers¹. Their expert Education team has designed the training as a practical three-day course that helps managers move from compliance to care.

Health, Safety and Wellbeing for Managers connects legal compliance and practical risk management with behavioural safety, psychological safety, wellbeing, communication and action planning. It's designed for organisations that want managers to lead with confidence, care and credibility, going beyond just meeting the essential requirements of safety management.

This three-day course gives managers the practical skills and confidence to manage health, safety and wellbeing as part of day-to-day leadership. It covers the essential compliance and risk management areas expected of manager training, then extends the learning into behavioural safety, psychological safety, wellbeing, communication and culture.

For organisations comparing Health, Safety and Wellbeing for Managers with IOSH Managing Safely, the key distinction is breadth and application. IOSH Managing Safely is a respected option for managers who need a solid grounding in safety responsibilities and risk management. Health, Safety and Wellbeing for Managers is designed for organisations that want those essentials plus a more rounded, people-centred approach that reflects how managers influence safety, wellbeing and engagement every day.

The course promotes a shift in mindset from compliance to care, helping managers take ownership, build trust, encourage open communication and create a practical action plan for improvement. The goal is not only to manage safety, but to lead healthier, more supportive and more resilient teams.
