A recent publication has revealed that employers in the health and safety industry seek NEBOSH qualifications above all others.
Two thirds of job adverts for health and safety roles specify at least one NEBOSH qualification, with well over a third demanding a NEBOSH National General Certificate.
The research, published in the NEBOSH News Update, also reveals that 81% of those who hold a NEBOSH qualification are not employed directly in health and safety roles. Qualifications such as this can add value to your CV and open up a wide range of job opportunities in many different sectors.
NEBOSH Chief Executive, Teresa Budworth explains the importance of a sound knowledge of health and safety;
“Managing health and safety is an important skill in all modern workplaces. People who manage safety and control risks effectively protect their employer from prosecution, a damaged reputation and significant costs. Importantly they also know the correct way to protect lives and prevent unnecessary injuries at work, and don’t make the kind of silly and unwarranted decisions that can give health and safety a bad name.”
If you’re thinking about working in the health and safety industry, or are simply looking to broaden your options in the job market, why not boost your chances of success and enhance your CV by gaining a NEBOSH qualification?
