NEBOSH National General Certificate

Developing an Understanding of Health & Safety
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.

An Overview of the NEBOSH National General Certificate Qualification
"The NEBOSH National General Certificate has established itself as a leading award in basic health and safety, with over 60,000 having earned it. It has been designed to provide sound underpinning knowledge to enable non-specialists to discharge their duties or functions in workplace health and safety. Such people include, managers, supervisors and employee representatives."
