The NEBOSH HSE Award in Managing Risks and Risk Assessment at Work is assessed via a practical assessment after the course programme is complete. Delegates watch a video showing them around a workplace and then complete a risk assessment based on what they’ve seen. This assessment will include identifying hazards, determining the level of risk they pose and identifying control measures which can be used to mitigate the risk.
After submitting this risk assessment, it will be marked and returned in 24 working days. Successful candidates receive a certificate to evidence their completion of the course.
Many delegates who complete the NEBOSH HSE Award in Managing Risks and Risk Assessment consider studying further health and safety qualifications to build their skills and knowledge. To these delegates we recommend the NEBOSH National General Certificate, as it builds on the knowledge established in this course, covering more areas of health and safety.
