NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety
September 19, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Duration: 32 Days (1 day per week 9am – 5pm)
Overview: The NEBOSH National Diploma is designed to provide the underpinning knowledge for a professional career in health and safety. The course is suitable for both newly appointed safety practitioners and those with substantial experience who wish to obtain Chartered Membership of IOSH. It equips holders to advise on effective management of risk across the range of employment sectors.
Management of Health and Safety in the workplace is not only a legal obligation and a moral imperative, it also makes good business sense. Qualified safety professionals are able to apply their learning to their organisation, reducing costs by preventing accidents and ill health of employees, either incurring unnecessary expense by over-reacting to trivial risks.
The NEBOSH National Diploma course is modular in structure and recognises success as the student progresses. Its practical approach promotes the application on knowledge acquired on the course to problem solving in the student’s own workplace.
