NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety

Overview

The NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety is a globally recognized qualification designed for employees working outside the UK, as well as multinational companies seeking to align international safety standards with local requirements.

Rather than focusing on specific legal frameworks, this qualification emphasizes international best practices, particularly those outlined by the International Labour Organization (ILO). It provides practical knowledge that professionals can apply directly in their workplaces.

The course is structured into three units: two assessed through written exams and one via a workplace-based practical assessment. Delivered over two weeks, the program covers essential topics such as risk management, occupational health, fostering a positive health and safety culture, and developing a business case for health and safety investments.
