IOSH Managing Safely Mock Exam

Studying our IOSH Managing Safely course and want to know if you’re ready for the exam? In this post you’ll find 3 practice questions to test yourself on in preparation for the exam.

IOSH Managing Safely is often the first choice for training when organisations look to train managers and supervisors in health and safety. Designed by IOSH, the course gives managers all the safety knowledge they need to ensure both they and their team work safely, including how to conduct a risk assessment and what safety legislation the organisation must abide by.

What to expect from the exam

The IOSH Managing Safely course is assessed via a 20 question, multiple choice exam, which determines whether delegates have absorbed the skills and knowledge from throughout the course. The exam’s pass mark is 80%, meaning you need to score 16 out of 20 in order to pass. The 3 questions below are all in the structure of those that could appear on the IOSH Mock exam, so you can both use them to test your knowledge and get used to the question style.
