What does the course include?
It covers the main legal requirements for safety in the UK, a range of workplace hazards, and methods of control. This is taught as three units Management of Health and Safety (NGC1), Controlling workplace hazards (NGC2), Health and safety practical application (NGC3)
Managers, supervisors and staff from all types of organisations need a broad understanding of health and safety issues. The certificate helps them manage risks effectively. Many people take the NEBOSH Certificate as a first step on a career in health and safety. It provides a valuable overview, and is a sound basis for further professional study.
What are the benefits for employers?
Many larger organisations choose the NEBOSH National General Certificate as a key part of their supervisors’ or management development programme. By ensuring that line managers have a sound understanding of the principles of risk management they build an effective safety culture in the company. Smaller organisations, operating in lower risk environments, often choose the NEBOSH National General Certificate as the appropriate qualification for the manager taking the lead on health and safety issues.
The NEBOSH National General Certificate is accepted by IOSH – the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health – in meeting the academic requirements for Technician membership of IOSH (Tech IOSH). It is also accepted by The International institute of Risk and Safety management (IIRSM) for associate membership.
