Why Is Nebosh So Intertwined With Health And Safety?

The term Nebosh is one that can quite often fill people with a little wonder and plenty of confusion

. In this article we'll try and dispel some of this confusion and shed some light on what is actually a very important institution within the United Kingdom.

Nebosh is an acronym, standing forthe National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health. It is an examination board set up in the UK, and has been charged with setting syllabuses and techniques of assessment for vocational qualifications. Having been founded way back in 1979 as an awarding and examining institution with a charitable status, Nebosh gives out diplomas and certificates in health, environmental and safety matters, to people around the globe. While it might be thought that these exams are only taken in the UK, because it is a UK institution, it is actually true to say that they are takne by people in 65 countries around the globe.

This demonstrates the power that Nebosh still has - and looks set to continue to have. Health and safety, after all, has become a very important part of many cultures -m and indeed has been entwined with law too. There are three main reasons why health and safety - and therefore Nebosh - is considered so important. The first is moral - the idea that someone should not live or work in conditions that put them at risk.

The second is economic. If you do not have institutions like Nebosh or related health and safety exams, then you run the risk of people becoming very ill or at risk. If someone loses their job, then quite often it will be the case that the state picks up the tab - in housing and living costs for example.

The third reason is legal. You will find that health and safety - and the failure to recognize and act upon it - is deeply imbedded in law. Failure to adhere tothese laws can be very costly indeed - and might even see someone put out of business, fined or perhaps even put in jail.

Nebosh remains at the heart of British and indeed international health and safety, ensuring that as many people as possible enjoy a safe work place free of risks that might cause death or injury. If you want to find out more about Nebosh courses, you should use the internet to conduct some research, and find a course that suits you best.
