NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award
We are delighted to announce that Messam & Rider Ltd are accredited to run the NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award, the exciting new qualification which provides a sound foundation in health and safety. This course perfectly fills the gap in safety qualifications for operators and first line supervisors. Designed broadly around Level 2 in the national vocational framework, this qualification is largely equivalent to GCSE standard. The course is assessed by a one hour multiple choice examination and a workplace practical application. Currently available as an in-company option.
The HSW 1 outline course content is:
Day 1 - Health and Safety at Work
- Foundations of health and safety
- Responsibility for health and safety
- Health and Safety Risk Assessment and Control
Day 2 - Health and Safety at Work
- Hazards and controls associated with work equipment
- Transport safety
- Hazards and controls associated with electricity
- Fire safety
Day 3 - Health and Safety at Work
- Manual handling and repetitive movement
- Hazards and controls associated with hazardous substances
- The working environment
HSW2 is the practical element which involves a workplace risk assessment which should take around 90mins. The multiple choice examination can be provided at the end of day 3, and the practical completed within 7 days in the candidate's own workplace. Alternatively the course can run over 4 days with the fourth day set aside for revision, the multiple choice examination and the practical application. Both options can be taken in block or day release formats.
