The new NEBOSH IGC syllabus has been streamlined to allow core skills to be considered in greater depth.
It covers how to effectively manage health and safety, and how to identify, reduce and control the key hazards in every kind of workplace.
Risk assessment is central to the IGC qualification, making sure it reflects the real-life roles people perform.

Course Contents:

Unit IG1: Management of Health and Safety

• Element 1: Why we should manage workplace health and safety

  2. A practical risk assessment that assesses what you can do (open book assignment)

Prerequisites:
No specific prerequisites are mandatory, but we highly recommend you have field experience in safety practice and one or more introductory safety training courses.
