The NEBOSH Award in Workplace Health and Safety is described as an introduction to the International General Certificate and is aimed at skilled workers, supervisors and similar roles, offering a general introduction to workplace health and safety. The NEBOSH International Certificate in Construction Health and Safety has been developed to help construction professionals working overseas in areas related to health and safety. The course focuses on international standards and aims to provide delegates with a broad understanding of health and safety principles and practices. Birmingham-based consultancy and training provider British Safety Services (BSS) has been selected by NEBOSH to be one of the pilot centres for the new courses. The company says its trainers have at least 15 years’ health and safety experience, as well as extensive knowledge of working overseas. BSS will begin running the courses in November, and the firm’s managing director, Pat McLoughlin, expects them to be a big hit. He said: “We are delighted to have been selected to deliver these new pilot courses for NEBOSH. We have been successfully running NEBOSH courses in the UK and overseas for many years, and our delegates constantly achieve above average examination results. “These courses will help us meet the needs of managers and supervisors who do not require the professional level of NEBOSH Diploma qualifications. The International Construction Certificate will allow us to focus on the specific cultural issues professionals come across when working in health and safety overseas.” To find out more, visit www.bssukhse.com
