NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health |
 |
The NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health is an examined qualification, designed to help non-specialists more effectively discharge their duties and functions in workplace Health and Safety. The course provides comprehensive and wide ranging initial training in Health and Safety and also covers the identification and control of hazards and the management of Health and Safety.
Many companies now require that the NEBOSH certificate qualification is a promotion pre-requisite for line management. A 50% drop in accidents at a factory has been linked directly to their initiative to train all senior production staff and managers on the NEBOSH course. This impressive statistic shows clearly the practical benefits of taking the NEBOSH course.
