The NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health is an examined basic qualification. It is designed to provide an appropriate breadth of underpinning knowledge for non-specialists in occupational safety and health to enable them to discharge, more effectively, their organisational duties or functions with respect to workplace health and safety.

Managers, supervisors, employee representatives and others, who require a basic knowledge and understanding of health and safety issues will benefit from this award.

The OPITO Open Learning programme has been designed to meet the needs of all who have to deal with health and safety at work – Health and Safety professionals, managers and supervisors – in fact anyone who has an interest in safety.

The Open Learning programme (delivered by CD ROM) can be used as a stand-alone programme, if necessary.  Included within the programme is a tutorial support facility.  We would strongly recommend that full use is made of this facility, particularly by those who intend to take the NEBOSH examination.
