On course for training
September 1st 2010 The Royal Society for the
Prevention of Accidents has
enhanced its training portfolio with
the introduction of the new
NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work
Qualification (Level 2).
RoSPA piloted the course for
NEBOSH (the National Examination
Board in Occupational Safety and
Health) and is now one of just a few
organisations offering the new
training.
September marks the safety
charity's first running of the course
since the pilot. Due to the interest
received, courses have also been
scheduled to take place in Edinburgh
on October 25 and Birmingham on
November 29. More courses will also
be running in early 2011.
The training provides a basic
understanding of health and safety
principles and practices in the
workplace, covering: Roles and
responsibilities; systems for health
and safety management; risk
assessment and control; and work
equipment and hazards. It is
particularly useful for those wanting
a good foundation in health and
safety and is relevant
across all business sectors. It can also
be tailored to the needs of individual
organisations and can be taken in
any country. More articles from RoSPA: |
