Assessment

Exam

The IOSH Working Safely Exam demonstrates the student’s understanding of the information contained within the course. The exam is taken online, so there is no need to attend a training centre. The exam consists of multiple choice questions and must be completed within 30 minutes. Students will need to achieve at least 20 points from a possible 33 to pass the exam. Students can have two attempts at the exam. A student will have to resit the whole course if they do not achieve the required marks on the second attempt. (We do not charge for resits.)

Hazard Spotting Exercise

The IOSH Working Safely Hazard Spotting Exercise demonstrates the student’s ability to spot hazards. The exercise is conducted online. Students need to achieve at least 11 points from a possible 16 points to pass the hazard spotting exercise.
