NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Safety and Health Overview
About the NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Safety and Health Qualification
The NEBOSH Construction Certificate is a qualification both for those with construction management responsibilities and for those who are required to provide routine, day-to-day advice on health, safety and welfare in construction work.
The NEBOSH Construction programmed of study broadly mirrors that of the NEBOSH National General Certificate. However, due to the specific nature of the award, the opportunity arises to cover key construction issues in rather more technical detail than would be appropriate for a general health and safety NEBOSH award.
The NEBOSH Construction Certificate therefore contains additional units and requires a slightly longer programmed of study than its counterpart. It is thus designed to cover general health and safety issues within a construction context as well as placing emphasis on the specific construction issues that make the industry amongst the most dangerous in which to work.
Candidates who have successfully completed the NEBOSH NGC1 paper within the past 5 years are exempt from re-sitting that paper again to gain this NEBOSH qualification.
No previous health and safety knowledge is required but students must be able to write short reports.
