NEBOSH, the National Examination Board for Occupational Safety and Health, has partnered with global beauty brand L’Oréal for the fourth year running to encourage and enable greater diversity within the health and safety profession.
The ‘NEBOSH L’Oréal International Bursary: Enabling women in health and safety’ is back to offer learning opportunities for women who want to enter or progress within the profession. Twenty women, based internationally, will be chosen to receive paid-for study and assessment fees for the NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.
Sarah Abdalwhab QHSE Consultant and a member of the Bursary judging panel, says: “I am proud to support the NEBOSH L’Oréal International Bursary: Enabling women in health and safety. This initiative empowers women to learn, develop professionally, and build stronger representation in the global health and safety field. I have always believed that strengthening women not only supports individual careers, but is also an investment in positive change across workplaces and communities alike.”
Applications for the ‘NEBOSH L’Oréal International Bursary: Enabling women in health and safety’ are open from 22 January to 20 February 2026. Applicants will be asked to submit a short video which demonstrates why they aspire to work within the profession and how they feel their studies will benefit their professional development. Bursary recipients will be chosen by a judging panel who work in the profession.
