NEBOSH and the UK’s Health and Safety Regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), have joined forces to develop this one-day health and safety qualification for senior business leaders or those aspiring to this position. The interactive, thought provoking content shows how leaders can influence health and safety performance and culture through their actions and behaviours.

This qualification is designed for anyone (managers, supervisors and workers) in any type of organisation. It’s ideal for anyone who needs a broad understanding of health and safety issues to be able to manage day-to-day risks effectively. Many people take the National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (NGC) as a first step in a career in health and safety. It gives a valuable overview, and is a sound basis for further professional study.

Understanding why this course matters is essential. When minor incidents and near‑misses are investigated properly, organisations have a real opportunity to prevent more serious — even catastrophic events from occurring. Effective investigations reveal patterns, highlight weaknesses, and confirm whether existing control measures are truly working. By investing time in analysing incidents, you gain an accurate picture of what’s happening in day‑to‑day operations and can strengthen your overall risk management system. This proactive approach also boosts employee engagement and improves morale, as people feel heard, involved, and safer at work.
