What is NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award?

The NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to gain a better understanding of workplace health and safety. Suitable for employees at all levels, the qualification focuses on key health and safety principles rather than detailed legal requirements.

The course covers how to identify and control common workplace hazards, supporting businesses in reducing accidents, incidents and injuries. Learners are assessed through a practical workplace-based assessment, which includes completing a risk assessment.

More than 35,000 people worldwide have achieved the NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award, gaining valuable knowledge and practical skills that can be applied in the workplace. Many organisations choose this qualification to develop their employees, strengthen their safety culture and support staff retention.

At SM Safety Training, we can also adapt the course content to suit your organisation, including relevant case studies and workplace hazards specific to your industry.

This qualification replaces the previous NEBOSH Award in Health and Safety at Work.

I completed my IOSH training today delivered by Lee who is a credit to the company. Lee's knowledge of the subject is extensive and it was very well delivered. The course materials we got to keep and the animations were of the highest standard. I have no hesitation in recommending S M Safety. I undertake many training courses within my job and this was easily the most enjoyable and professional course I've ever done. Well done and thanks again Lee.

Completed the NEBOSH Managing Stress course online with SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd. This course was a lot more straight forward and easy compared to the other courses, would recommend completing the NEBOSH General first. However, the instructor kept the trainees engaged, the impact showed as the exam results were high for all.

having done the NEBOSH General course previously with the guys at SM and knowing the way they work made this course much easier to take in, Steve was very good at adapting the learning style to how I take in the knowledge. I would highly recommend.
