The NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) was created in 1979 as an examining board. NEBOSH offer a wide range of diplomas, certificates and awards in health and safety. The courses are taken in over one hundred countries across the world and attract over 35,000 delegates annually.
The NEBOSH qualifications are internationally recognised by relevant professional bodies such as the Institution of Safety and Health and the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management. The courses cover important aspects of health and safety within any workplace in both private and public sectors.
Introduction to health and safety...
The NEBOSH National General Certificate provides the perfect introduction to health and safety. The course looks at the management of health and safety and various workplace hazards. It is recommended for people in the health and safety sector. This is the basic qualification and the starting point for many, so no health and safety experience is required before the course. After the course the delegate is awarded the NEBSOH General Certificate which meets the Institution of Safety and Health academic standards.
The NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety and Risk Management. This course covers general health and safety then focuses on fire safety. The course covers all legal requirements such as fire alarm testing. As well as this, the course teaches delegates to prevent fires and safe evacuation methods. It also enables delegates can identify fire risks within the workplace. Whilst this course can be taken by anyone, it is recommended for those in a fire safety role, as well as those in management positions.
The NEBOSH environmental certificate is designed for managers and employees responsible for environmental issues in the workplace. Upon completing the certificate, delegates will be able to conduct environmental impact assessments as well as understand environmental management systems. The course is the first step towards achieving the NEBOSH diploma in Environmental management.
The NEBOSH certificates are vital to anyone within any industry. Health and safety awareness is important to any work place. In the last year there were 118,000 major work place injuries reported. There were even more minor injuries, and most wouldn't have even been reported. The NEBOSH qualification could help to prevent half of these injuries occurring.
As you can see there are a number of different NEBOSH courses available. If you are confused about which one is right for you then give us a call at Easybook Training for assistance.
