About the event:

The NEBOSH National General Certificate has been recognised for many years in the UK as the basis for a sound, broad introduction to the fundamentals of occupational health and safety. The International General Certificate is the international version of this award, focusing on internationally recognised health and safety standards, such as ILO 2002, OHSAS 18001 and international best practice in hazards and control.

The NEBOSH International General Certificate aims to provide those making day-to-day decisions at work with a broad knowledge of health and safety in order to ensure that the health and safety implications of their decisions are properly taken into account.

The vast majority of occupational injuries and incidents of ill-health are avoidable by good health and safety management. Effective health and safety management should be recognised as an essential element of good overall management by contributing positively to overall business performance.

With increasing globalisation there is a need for a common and consistent standard for achieving the health and safety of workers in all parts of the world. The NEBOSH International General Certificate sets this standard.

When you attend this intensive 12 day training programme in a true ‘working’ environment, you will be gaining occupational safety and health qualifications that are not only internationally recognised but which set the global benchmark.

Enhance your career prospects and professional development while achieving this highly respected qualification!

Who Should Participate?

The NEBOSH International General Certificate has been designed for managers, supervisors, worker representatives and those who require a basic knowledge and understanding of health and safety principles and practices. It provides an appropriate breadth of knowledge for non-specialists in occupational health and safety to enable them to discharge more effectively their organisational duties or functions with respect to workplace health and safety. Candidates are likely to be employees of large organisations operating outside the UK, or of multinational companies already working to international standards but needing to adapt these in accordance with local needs and practice.
