Health and safety responsibility travels with the role, not the jurisdiction — and managers posted across borders need a qualification that does the same. The NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety focuses on international standards and management systems, enabling candidates to discharge workplace health and safety responsibilities effectively in any employment sector, in all parts of the world. NEBOSH, formed in 1979 as an independent examining board and awarding body with charitable status, sets globally recognised, vocationally related qualifications for private and public sector workplaces alike. BIZENIUS delivers the qualification in collaboration with NEBOSH-accredited course provider ACT Associates Ltd (Centre Number 120).
