Nebosh National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety

Overview

The NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety is established as a leading health and safety award for the construction industry, with over 4,000 successful candidates since 1989. The NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety is a nationally and internationally recognised qualification. It is designed to help those with health and safety responsibilities, for example managers, supervisors and employee representatives, from construction type organisations, making day-to-day decisions at work. It will give them a broad understanding of health and safety issues and enable them to manage risks, within construction activities, effectively.

Many people take the NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction as a first step in a career in health and safety within the construction industry. The qualification meets the academic requirements for Technical membership (Tech IOSH) of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). It provides a valuable overview and is a sound basis for further professional study.
