The NEBOSH Award in Health and Safety at Work is suitable for anyone who needs to understand the principles of health and safety as part of their job, including team leaders and supervisors, HR professionals, facilities managers and those training young people in a working environment.
Justify the need for health and safety improvements; advise on duties for health and safety in the workplace; help your organisation to manage contractors; work within a health and safety management system; positively influence health and safety culture and behaviour; carry out a general risk assessment (using a 5-step approach) of your workplace; recognise workplace changes and their impacts and understand how to minimise these impacts; develop basic safe systems of work that include emergency arrangements and know when to use a permit-to-work system; take part in incident investigations; and help your employer check the effectiveness of their health and safety management system through monitoring, auditing and review.
Workers with the Award in Health and Safety at Work qualification will benefit organizations who are seeking to implement or maintain a health and safety management system by giving workers an awareness of common workplace hazards. It will also ensure the workforce, in particular supervisory staff, can apply the principles of risk assessment and understand how to control common workplace hazards. Upskilling your workforce in risk assessment can help reduce the number of accidents in the workplace, improving staff morale, and resulting in costs saving for the business.
