NEBOSH Award in Health & Safety at Work
The NEBOSH Award in Health and Safety at Work is a NEW qualification providing a basic understanding of health and safety principles in the workplace. It also provides a perfect introduction to other NEBOSH qualifications including the NEBOSH National and International General Certificates.
Those who would typically benefit from this qualification include:
• Staff with supervisory responsibilities;
• Team leaders;
• People who wish to have an introduction to other NEBOSH qualifications;
• People who want a good foundation in health and safety who have some work experience, ensuring that they can put their learning into context.
The NEBOSH Award in Health and Safety at Work will benefit organisations internationally and within the UK who are seeking to implement a basic health and safety training programme as part of their workplace culture. It will ensure employees have an understanding of the principles of risk control, reducing the numbers of accidents and incidents and resulting in cost savings for the business.
The risk assessment element is of particular benefit to employees who are contributing to risk assessments in their organisation.
