IGC in Occupational Health and Safety

“I have got a clearer picture of hazards and worksite problems at a practical and management level.”

 Who is it for?

Individual

This qualification is for anyone who needs to gain a sound understanding of the principles of workplace health and safety, wherever in the world they may work.

For some, the International General Certificate is a crucial first step towards establishing a lifelong professional career in occupational health and safety. Many who take their International General Certificate progress on to one of our Diploma-level qualifications. Interestingly, a significant proportion of people who hold their International General Certificate are employed in roles whose primary function is not health and safety based.

The International General Certificate is now commonly seen as a very useful qualification for managers, supervisors and those who need to have a sound understanding of their health and safety responsibilities and who wish to implement sustainable health and safety improvements. 

My NEBOSH International General Certificate changed everything! Shortly after completing the certificate, I was hired for my NEBOSH qualification, not for my degree, so it turned out to be a life changing decision.” 
Maisaa Nasrallah

Employer

The International General Certificate is used by many organisations to improve the health and safety skills and knowledge of managers, supervisors and staff in order to gain sustainable health and safety improvements. Quite simply, the International General Certificate is a qualification that leads to safer workplaces.

People who hold the International General Certificate know how to reduce incidents, absence costs and loss of reputation from health and safety issues in whatever industry or country they operate. NEBOSH qualifications are held in high esteem throughout the world. Employing people who hold a NEBOSH qualification demonstrates a commitment to health and safety and provides assurance to others. It can even help you achieve recognised standards and win new business.

The International General Certificate is for anyone who needs to gain a sound understanding of the principles of workplace health and safety. It is based around best practice and international standards, such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO) codes of practice.

 


What you will learn 

What does the course cover?

The International General Certificate covers the principles relating to health and safety, identification and control of workplace hazards and the practical application of this knowledge. Local laws and cultural factors may form part of the study programme where relevant and appropriate. Crucially, the practical element of the course requires learners to complete a health and safety inspection of their workplace and complete a report to management regarding the inspection with recommendations.

The key topics covered by the qualification are:

  • The importance of and key elements of health and safety management systems
  • Principles and practice of risk assessment
  • The identification of workplace hazards such as those associated with general workplace issues, fire, electricity etc.
  • Methods for controlling identified workplace hazards

No previous health and safety knowledge is required. Learnerss should note that the assessment includes a requirement to write a short report.

The qualification is divided into three units, each of which is assessed separately: 

  • IGC1: Management of international health and safety
  • GC2: Control of workplace hazards
  • GC3: Health and safety practical application

The syllabus is mapped to the National Occupational Standards for Health and Safety. These are maintained on a database which is managed by Skills Development Scotland www.ukstandards.org.uk/Pages/Search.aspx 

Further details can be found in the syllabus guide which can be downloaded from the Resources section.

The International General Certificate can be studied and assessed in multiple languages including:

  • English
  • Arabic
  • Russian
  • Turkish
  • Portuguese (European) 
  • Spanish (European)
  • French

How is the qualification assessed?

Assessment is a three-step process:

  • IGC1 - An open book examination to assess what you know. This is scenario based and will include a closing interview, you will be asked questions about your submission.
    (Please note that the open book examination is only available in English. Additional languages are in development and will be released later in the year.)
  • GC2 – A paper-based two hour written examination. This examination consists of ten ‘short-answer’ questions and one ‘long-answer’ question.

Assessments are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH. These examiners are chosen for their experience and expertise to ensure that learners are assessed by the very best from our industry.

  • GC3 - Assessed by one two-hour practical examination carried out in the learner’s own workplace (2 hours). 
    The aim of this unit is to assess your ability to complete a safety inspection of your workplace and prepare a report to management with recommendations and improvements.  The assessment must normally be taken within 10 working days of a written examination. The practical examination is internally assessed by your course provider and externally moderated by NEBOSH.

Our unit based approach

Our unit-based approach allows you to achieve new qualifications without having to study or be assessed on topics that you have already passed.

Some of our Certificate-level qualifications include ‘common units’. For example, Unit NGC1 forms part of our National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety, and also part of the National Certificate in Fire Safety and Risk Management and the National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.

If you have already passed unit NGC1 as part of your previous studies you will not be required to pass NGC1 again when studying for another certificate qualification it features in, provided that the declaration date (the date printed on your unit certificate) is within five years of the examination date for the new qualification. 

This applies to all Certificate-level qualifications with common units, and also in some cases across our national and international variants. See Exemptions below for further information.
