Invest in the future of safety and health

The Ofqual-regulated Level 3 Certificate in Safety and Health for Business has been developed by IOSH in collaboration with awarding body NCFE. It is cost-effective, time-efficient, regulated and highly relevant for businesses.

It has been designed with employers for employers to meet their needs and grow the knowledge and soft skills their managers, supervisors and up-and-coming safety and health professionals require. This distinctive business-relevant qualification has been developed with input from leading organisations and thought-leaders across key sectors worldwide.

Safety and Health for Business is taught in flexible, engaging ways. It can also take less time to complete than other regulated qualifications, meaning delegates are able to spend up to a quarter less time away from the workplace.

The qualification equips supervisors and managers with the right knowledge and skills to evaluate safety systems, identify areas for improvement, implement control measures and reduce risk. While there are no specific entry requirements for this qualification, it is preferable that learners in the UK can demonstrate foundational knowledge at Level 2 or equivalent - this could be five GCSEs or a Functional Skills Level 2 certificate.

For non-UK learners or for non-native-English speakers this could be a recent IELTS test score of 6 or higher.

Successful completion of this course enables delegates to apply for Associate or Technical IOSH Membership, giving access to these benefits and more:- a global community of like-minded

professionals leading positive change

- chance to enhance their knowledge with access to technical expertise

- opportunity to build their professional network and connections

- improved career prospects enabling them to maximise their potential.
