NEBOSH General, NEBOSH Construction or IOSH Managing Safely?
IOSH Managing Safely is a three-day course that gives line managers and supervisors a practical grounding in managing risk in their own teams. The NEBOSH General Certificate goes considerably deeper and is the usual choice for anyone moving into a health and safety role in any sector. The NEBOSH Construction Certificate covers the same management ground but is built around construction sites and CDM duties, so it suits site managers and those working in construction, civil engineering and utilities.
