IOSH MSCPS Training

Overview

The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) has developed a series of certified programmes designed to promote protection from workplace hazards at every level. IOSH programmes are founded on best practice, as well as legislation – this ensures that the courses are relevant internationally.

The IOSH Managing Safely for Construction Project Supervisors course has been designed by OHSS according to IOSH guidelines to provide training for those with a specific responsibility in Project Supervisor for Design Process (PSDP) and Project Supervisor for Construction Stage (PSCS) within the construction industry. It is based on the IOSH Managing Safely course tailored to meet the specific requirements of those working in the construction industry and is IOSH approved.
