Overview:

This programme will fulfill the requirement for energy and utility sector managers with a responsibility for health and safety to be able
to effectively minimise risk, loss and accidents across a range of operations and activities undertaken in the hazardous environments in which they and their staff work, especially in the energy utility sector. It includes key areas of managerial responsibility: establishing effective Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) policies and procedures, investigating loss, risk assessment and risk management.


As well as the contingency and risk management aspects of the course, participants will be provided with highly practical techniques
in dealing with hazardous chemicals, machinery safety, noise, electricity, fire and radiation; developing common sense approaches to
effective safety management whatever their business or function, wherever their organisation and operations are based.

The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is the leading UK examination authority in the field of health and safety and the International General Certificate qualification is quickly becoming the industry-recognised standard worldwide. This course is intended to offer a consolidated version of the certificate for international participants in order that successful attainment of the qualification can occur in as concise a period of learning, study and assessment as is practicable.
