National General Certificate to Construction Certificate Conversion
Who Should Attend
Managers, supervisors, designers and CDM Co-ordinators from the Construction Industry who have passed the NEBOSH General Certificate course within the last 5 years. The certificate helps them manage risks effectively. It may also prove effective for those who have to manage the activities of contractors. The qualification is specifically referred to as a key competence in the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007.
The qualification is also appropriate for supervisors and managers working in other industries such as utilities, and even broadcasting, where temporary workplaces are a feature of their activities.
Many people take NEBOSH Certificate courses as a first step on a career in health and safety. It provides a valuable overview, and is a sound basis for further professional study.
