Megamas Training Company - The NEBOSH International General Certification In Occupational Safety and Health

Aims

The new International Certificate reflects the syllabus of the established and very popular NEBOSH General Certificate that is available in the UK. It creates a focus on management systems and best practice in the context of international standards in Health and Safety, rather than reliance on local legislation. By applying proven and recognised processes, it underpins consistent Health and Safety performance. It provides a broad base of knowledge on which a base level of competence in occupational health and safety can be developed.
