ISO Training Courses – The Key to a Safe Workplace

When it comes to running your workplace smoothly, ISO training courses are the bread and butter of safe practices.

Whether you’re a health and safety manager, an internal auditor, or anyone whose work centres around an OHSMS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), ISO training courses are an essential part of the job – for those starting out, or for those continuing in their role.

And with growing workforces and fast-paced industries taking centre stage, health and safety is more important than ever for running a successful business. This is where ISO training courses come in.

What is ISO?

Before we delve deeper, it’s helpful to know (or recap) what the ISO label actually entails, starting with the acronym: the International Organisation for Standardisation.

Breaking down each component of the name makes it clear: ISO is an independent, non-governmental organisation responsible for international standards, specifically in a range of health and safety practices. This includes tech and manufacturing, but also food safety, agriculture, and healthcare.

What about ISO 45001 training courses?

Don’t worry, you’ve not skipped over 45,000 equally important entries in ISO’s checklist for your company. The numbers following ‘ISO’ denote specific systems, mostly for the sake of organisation – you’re not expected to memorise thousands of them!

ISO 45001 specifically entails occupational health and safety management systems, which is essential for the safety of employees in the workplace. Check out some of the other popular choices here.

Some of the key components of an ISO 45001 course include:

A deeper understanding of ISO 45001, using real and practical examples to reinforce your grasp and implementation of the concepts
Comprehensive training on auditing techniques, including planning, conducting, then reporting them effectively
Handheld guidance on how to properly implement an OHSMS.
A thorough, comprehensive risk assessment walkthrough, teaching you techniques to help identify and mitigate risks and hazards yourself

Why should I take ISO training courses?

Meeting regulatory requirements is essential, and ISO training courses are the most effective way to realise this goal in your company.

Our ISO training courses in Liverpool are adaptable to companies of any size and can cover any sector, making them easy to introduce to employees, with standards that are just as easy to implement.

Building a better understanding of health and safety habits within your workforce will reduce chances of accidents occurring, and the improvements in proactive safety measures amongst your employees means management won’t need to babysit.

The course not only enhances skills of the leader, but instils improved leadership skills within everyone, creating a more independent and driven workforce that’s less likely to encounter problems.

Who is this course for?

The list in our intro covers the best-suited jobs for these courses, and whilst some prior knowledge of ISO 45001:2018 is important, this course is entirely accessible once you have the basics covered.

This includes knowledge of commonly used terms and conditions, such as the PDCA (plan, do, check, act) cycle, as well as health and safety/risk-based thinking. You can obtain a free guide to these standards online from the ISO website.

Are courses my only option?

Courses are intended to teach, but why bother when information is so readily available online? For the same reason you wouldn’t jump into rocket science because you’ve read the instructions for making a paper plane (though we promise our course isn’t rocket science).

Employees aren’t guaranteed to absorb information from scrolling through pages upon pages of regulations, and we’re sure you shudder remembering the dreaded days in school where the teacher let textbooks lead the lesson.

In-person ISO training courses are far more engaging, using a hands-on approach with real-life examples to help make content digestible and more likely to be retained by participants.

Not only will this ensure your business’s compliance with international standards, but it can also elevate your teams and the safety culture within your company.

I recently completed the IOSH Managing Safely Course at Keep Safe Solutions, where our personable instructor, Phill Curtis, ensured that the course was very engaging throughout; drawing upon his vast experience from across the military and civilian settings to provide context to the course material. This, coupled with the great learning environment set by Danny and Terry McCreith, is why I highly recommend Keep Safe Solutions Ltd as a training provider!

Phill Curtis IOSH TrainerA big thank you to Danny, Terry and Chris for all of the support back in 2022 and the assistance in my trainer application and successful submission to the business support team @ IOSH.The mentoring from Danny back in October 2022, allowing me to observe course delivery and the support since becoming a freelance trainer has always been above and beyond from the whole team at KSS.There facilities are 1st rate and provide a great learning environment to all students and always includes snacks and refreshments aplenty.Delivering training often on the hoof as a freelancer is always challenging , however when course documentation is ready for you on that 1st day and the team support you throughout the course and assist in ensuring it’s all collated upon course completion always enables stress free delivery.Their continued support is always appreciated as is their very prompt payment of the trainer invoice. Now entering my 2nd year with KSS, I look forward to continuing our working relationship. Worthy of 5 stars after a full year of active support.

After recently moving to the area I was looking for reputable training establishments to freelance for. I was recommended KSS and their amazing team by an other trainer in the area. I was invited to the office to meet the team prior to the scheduled training day. The location is perfect for onsite training and creates a very inclusive learning environment. I was teaching offsite at a clients venue so I was treated to a lovely coffee and all my paperwork had been colated with all the information I required all ready to make a seamless stress free day. The clients venue was well vetted and was perfect for a day's teaching with everything thought of to ensure the comfort of my learning candidates and myself. I was very impressed with the organisation and care taken to ensure I was happy as a trainer and payment on receipt of paperwork was a welcomed bonus and very unusual in a 30 day invoice climate. Massive thanks to the team at KSS for making me feel so welcomed and valued.

I contacted KSS in need of advice and guidance around my Companies Management Systems, Health and Safety Protocols and Extinguisher Procurement. Chris from KSS worked with me across all three areas (and more!) his knowledge was extensive and I particularly liked the way that he really took the time to understand my Company and therefore wss able to provide advice and guidance tailored to our unique and specific needs. Chris kept to all the timelines and deadlines that we had agreed and really went the extra mile over the Christmas period to ensure I was able to get things up and running very quickly. Thank you KSS!

I’m happy to say we have today passed our check with Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service & they said the documents/logs & equipment we have are excellent.

I have recently done an ISO45001 auditors course. From the moment I contacted Keep Safe Solutions the experience has been second to none. Excellent communication, well organised and professional. During the training the instructor was first class with bucket loads of knowledge to pass on. The learning environment was superb, relaxed modern and comfortable. Refreshments and lunch catered for. I will be using Keep Safe Solutions again with a view to using them in my workplace in the future. Thank you Danny, Terry and Gareth.

A big thank you to Keep Safe Solutions for the superb delivery of the ISO 45001 Lead Auditor course. The administration, venue facilities including lunch were first rate. The course content was excellent, as was the knowledge and experience of our tutor Mr David Smith (only the chair of the project committee that developed the standard might I add!). I have been extremely pleased with the training received and will certainly use Keep Safe Solutions again. Unequivocally recommended!!
