NEBOSH HSE Award in Managing Risks and Risk Assessment at Work
22 May 2024
Introduction
HSE and NEBOSH have jointly
developed a one-day qualification structured around
HSE's approach to controlling the risks caused by
workplace hazards. This qualification has been designed to
assist employees or volunteers involved in managing
workplace risks and who undertake risk assessments, to
confidently identify sensible and proportionate
precautions to control the risks in the
workplace.
"Assessment is not the end product of risk management,
and businesses should understand that elimination or control of the
assessed risks is the more important part of the overall process.
This new qualification focuses on how organisations can effectively
and sustainably manage risks in a proportionate
manner."
Ron Macbeth, Risk Assessment
Technical Lead at HSE
