NEBOSH National General Certificate

Ensuring ongoing health and safety improvements, compliance with your safety policy and other external requirements, is a key issue in any organisation. To fulfil these obligations requires an understanding of the broad issues relating to health and safety; including the legal standards, management methods, workplace hazards and controls, communications and consultation. Therefore non-specialists must have a broad understanding of health and safety requirements, management and methods. The NEBOSH National General Certificate is an ideal course to fulfil this critical business need.
