The awarding body’s page Fees, dates and entry requirements are there, not here.

What it is

The best-known international qualification in occupational health and safety: assessing risk in the workplace, controlling common hazards, building a safety management system and investigating incidents. It is assessed through a practical report from a real workplace, not by a theory exam alone.

Who it suits

Safety supervisors and officers on projects, in factories and facilities, site managers, and organisers of large outdoor events.

What it requires

No prior qualification is required; you need enough English to read the material and write the report.

How it is earned

Taught by NEBOSH-accredited training centres in person or online, and the exam is booked through the same centre.
