NEBOSH launches new service to support businesses in health and safety training

One of the world’s leading providers of health and safety qualifications, NEBOSH, has launched a new solution for businesses that want to improve their in-company training for health and safety.

The NEBOSH Endorsed service will endorse great health and safety training amongst employees using a collaborative approach. NEBOSH is aiming to help organisations to elevate their in-company offering and deliver measurable behavioural change that contributes to healthier and safer workplaces.

Training will focus on health and safety including a spotlight on fire safety. Courses will be tailored to the individual needs of each organisation after bespoke consultation and development.

Ian Cooke, NEBOSH Business Development Manager for Corporates and Consumers, says: “So much in-company training is well-meaning but has minimal impact on behaviour back in the workplace. NEBOSH are experts in learning. We want to share our 40 years’ worth of educational expertise and help create better health and safety training, whatever its duration or level.

“NEBOSH Endorsed is focused on two things: collaboration and impact. Everything we do will be tailored to an organisation’s needs and we’ll use a range of tools to make sure it is having a demonstrable impact on individual and organisational performance. Ultimately, we want to make the world a safer place to work and by partnering with organisations through NEBOSH Endorsed, we can make that happen!”
