NEBOSH qualified members of staff, such as those who have taken the National General Certificate, know how to help their employer stay safe and avoid prosecution, litigation and absence costs, all of which can seriously damage a business’s reputation.
All of the NEBOSH qualifications are recognised by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and the International NEBOSH Qualification are recognised by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM), so you can rest assured that NEBOSH-qualified staff are at the top of their game. Having a good reputation and proven track record for no accidents and incidents is sure to boost your organisation’s credibility, earning you the trust and respect of your peers and the wider business community.
