The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is an independent awarding body attracting 15,000 candidates each year. NEBOSH qualifications are recognised and respected by employers in all sectors of the economy and provide the benchmark standard against which others are compared.
The NEBOSH National General Certificate is established as a leading award in basic health and safety. It has been designed to provide a sound breadth of underpinning knowledge to enable non-specialists to discharge more effectively their duties and functions in workplace health and safety.
