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.

It covers the main legal requirements for safety in the UK, a range of workplace hazards, and methods of control.

The NGC looks at simple solutions for general workplace health and safety issues. When you have completed the qualification, you will be able to:

• justify the need for health and safety improvements;

• help your organisation to manage contractors;
• work within a health and safety management system;
• positively influence health and safety culture and behaviour;
• help your employer check the effectiveness of their health and safety management system through monitoring, auditing and review.

You will be a massive asset to your employer when you achieve the NGC. You will make a real difference in the workplace. You will have the knowledge and skills to help protect the health and safety of all workers. You will also be able to help your employer to comply with the law and good practice, as well as help them avoid the huge costs from incidents and ill health.
