One year on: celebrating the NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation qualification

Thursday, 30 April 2020

In 2019 NEBOSH partnered with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to launch the NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation.

One year on and this one-day qualification is proving to be incredibly popular with existing and aspiring supervisors and safety representatives who want to reduce the number of incidents that happen within the workplace.

Designed to support individuals tasked with carrying out non-complex investigations, NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation will give learners the skills they need to conduct an investigation unaided, and then produce and implement an action plan to help prevent a recurrence, or a more serious incident.

More than 1,000 people have already successfully completed the qualification. This means that over 1,000 people are learning lessons and making improvements so that organisations can avoid similar incidents occurring in the future.

Neil Fisher, Health Safety & Environment Practitioner at Network Rail has taken the NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation as well as eight other NEBOSH qualifications. He said: “The NEBOSH Introduction to Incident Investigation provides a baseline understanding to people carrying out investigations. It’s given me a globally recognised qualification, that’s assisted with the fundamentals of effective incident investigation.
