Certificates for occupational health and safety

By Greg Dean


The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health, also popularly known as 'NEBOSH' has been working for many years to help professionals gain recognition and certified examination services. This National Examination Board has worked successfully since 1979 to provide people with awards, certificates and diplomas that are globally acknowledged.

NEBOSH has created access to health and safety courses with the aim to provide people easy access to valuable training that can help them take their career to the next level and provide professional and safe service to their chosen industries, customers or workers.

Recognized by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) and the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA), NEBOSH serves healthcare and safety professionals by providing standardized and recognized courses and exams world over, so no one is left out from gaining the needed expertise in both health and safety.

With labor laws and safety rules and regulations at the work place, many firms, businesses, corporations and government institutions seek the expertise of certified health and safety specialists. The increasing demand in both the developed and developing world explains the over 35000 applicants every year at NEBOSH. To cater to this increased demand and to create ease for applicants, over 500 courses are available. The best part about NEBOSH is that they have over 100 countries on board, so people in remote areas can also get access to globally accepted qualification. People from all industries can find courses suitable to them and choose flexible modes of study that also allow them to work.

The fundamental thought behind NEBOSH is to establish a global standard that strengthens and protects industries and workers worldwide by aiding in the creation of more steady and safe environments. NEBOSH works by supporting both the worker and the employer by providing high standardized testing and qualifications which are otherwise unavailable. The team at NEBOSH is made up of the best institutions and Chartered Safety and Health Practitioners certified staff that helps members all the way.

While NEBOSH works directly with applicants, indirectly NEBOSH works towards more than just helping achieve awards and certifications. By creating a system that allows people to gain skills and knowledge of health, environment and safety regulations, NEBOSH helps make the world a safer, more hassle free place.

The NEBOSH health and safety courses provided by this certifying body also protect companies and workers from a legal aspect. Health and safety courses give hospital administrations and companies know how of legal issues and the measures that be taken to avoid them. Certifications, awards and courses offered by NEBOSH help create trust between workers and employers and enable companies and institutions to create safe working environments for their employees. In the long term, this helps save a lot of money and creates good worker-employee relationships.

NEBOSH brings together more than 500 institutes that in turn offer a large number of courses. There are online courses, in class trainings and other modes available for students that work or have limited time during the week. NEBOSH keeps a large number of institutes on board to allow flexibility and each institute offers different prices and different certifications.
