All businesses have a need for safety courses of some variety. In some workplaces, only the managers and executives are expected to go through these courses. In other workplaces, everyone hired must pass at least a basic course designed to introduce them to the safety practices carried out in the work environment. Small businesses may use safety courses to educate everyone in the company at once, while larger companies may have a constant need to carry out training classes and send employees to take the safety test. Introducing NEBOSH Safety Courses NEBOSH courses are the leading safety courses available in the world today. NEBOSH stands for National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health. Since 1979, this board has set the standard for occupational safety and health for more than ninety countries all over the world. They offer basic safety courses that introduce the basic concepts of occupational safety as well as more advanced courses designed for specific industries. There are three levels of training that can be achieved through NEBOSH: • Certificates • Awards • Diplomas Certificates are the easiest to achieve and cover the basic of occupational health and safety principles. Awards take a little more time to earn and go a little more in-depth. The diploma is the most advanced accomplishment and is a great option for those working in an industry where health and safety is extremely important. Benefits of NEBOSH Courses Businesses use NEBOSH courses to ensure that their employees are well aware of all expected safety standards within the workplace. Businesses that ensure all employees go through at least an entry level NEBOSH safety course experience lower accident rates in the workplace. Those who advance their employees to higher courses with industry specific training guidelines experience even lower accident rates within the workplace. For businesses, NEBOSH courses are an insurance policy. They ensure that employees know what is expected of them in terms of safety, which in turn results in employees taking more care and caution in their work. This results in fewer accidents in the workplace, which saves the company a lot of money that would otherwise be spent cleaning up messes and fixing problems. In some industries, NEBOSH courses are absolutely essential, due to the nature of the job. In other industries, the courses may be limited to specific employees who work in more sensitive areas of the facility. Still others may choose to NEBOSH train only those who work with entry level employees or students, who are more prone to making mistakes. Using NEBOSH Courses NEBOSH has testing sites around the world, in more than ninety countries. Employers may purchase training booklets to prepare employees in their own facilities, but testing is done at a designated location with NEBOSH-approved examiners. This keeps the integrity of NEBOSH courses extremely high. Employers can purchase training manuals for every employee that they want to send through the testing, or they may purchase fewer training manuals and hold training classes. The training classes are the most economical option for larger businesses that must pass many new employees through the safety training as quickly as possible. NEBOSH courses are designed for international use, so they are delivered in easy-to-understand English. They may also be found in other languages, such as Arabic. Most courses teach international standards of occupational safety.
