The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is an independent awards agency for qualifications in health, safety and environmental practice and management, and has been keeping workers safe for over thirty years.

Universally recognised

Whatever kind of business you are involved in, from primary industry to a small office environment, we have a qualification to suit you. Our 400 certified training providers have already provided certification to 180,000 people in 33 countries

Many professional membership bodies (e.g. the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health and the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment) recognise NEBOSH accreditation, and NEBOSH is ISO 9001 certified, and holds Investors in People Status.

Note that NEBOSH is the examining board providing syllabi and practical coursework exams, and although they don?t directly provide training, all course providers must be NEBOSH certified.

Qualification Levels

Three grades of qualification are awarded by NEBOSH: Award, Certificate and Diploma. A Diploma indicates professional knowledge of the subject, and an Award indicated a good introductory knowledge.

Health and Safety risk assessments

Whatever kind of business you are involved in, you are required to carry out health and safety risk assessments, to let the government assess how safe an environment you are providing for your staff. It can be difficult to know what to do when beginning as an employer, so keep these five steps in mind when carrying out your own workplace risk assessment: Firstly, identify any clearly dangerous aspects of your working environment. Secondly, determine who may be affected by said dangerous aspects of your working environment. Thirdly you must decide upon the degree of danger involved, by looking at the chances of someone having an accident involving the problems outlined in steps one and two, and decide how severe these accidents might be. Fourthly, identify any existing protocols in place to minimise the risk of said dangerous aspect, and finally, record all of this in a suitably presented form.

Dangers of an Office Environment

Offices often can seem safe. Just because there are no power tools and no heavy machinery most people assume that offices are risk free, since surely the risks associated with a desk job pale in comparison to those associated with industry?

This is not strictly true. Although it is safe to say that you are under less risk in an office than on a busy factory floor, it is untrue to say that there are no risks present to your staff in an office environment.

Health and safety risk assessments are required by law and with so many accidents in the workplace happening every day it is no wonder. Your employees have a right to work in a safe environment, and filling in risk assessment forms is the best way to keep track of this.
