This NVQ can also be completed using our unique on-line NVQ system
The level 4 NVQ in Occupational Health and Safety is a work-based qualification that is designed for persons who are appointed to provide Health and Safety
assistance in organisations where there are significant hazards and complex risks.
It is essentially for those individuals who are practising Health and Safety advisors with responsibility for influencing policy or those who maybe aspiring
to become safety consultants and members of The Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.
This qualification is recognised by The Institution of Occupational Health and Safety (IOSH) as a route to membership.
At a time when there is a lot of discussion about ‘COMPETENCE’ this is a qualification that measures the competence of people, who influence standards of Health
and Safety within organisations.
NVQs are widely accepted as being assets to any company wishing to increase the competence of its staff and the organisation.
They are viewed as building blocks upon which the success of your organisation can be built and are entirely consistent with other initiatives such as Investors
in People and OHSAS 18001.
In addition many insurance companies see NVQs as a key element to ensuring the competence of their clients’ staff when assessing Employers' Liability Insurance.
Business Safety Systems is widely accepted as one of the most successful NVQ providers in the UK with over 900 successful candidates.
All our assessors and verifiers are members of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health and have experience in a wide range of working environments.
Candidates may also use our unique NVQ on-line system to help them with the process of putting together their portfolios.
Knowledge and experience requirements
As a Health and Safety manager you will be expected to prove that you are operating a comprehensive Health and Safety management system that encompasses all
aspects of your company’s undertakings and involves relevant employees at all levels.
You must also prove that you possess the relevant underpinning health and safety knowledge to satisfy the required standards.
Candidates with limited knowledge, experience or qualifications in the health and safety field may be considered to be suitable for this qualification if
they have the opportunity or potential to produce the required evidence and are also willing to undertake further training.
Interested candidates may seek advice from one of our qualified NVQ assessors regarding their suitability for this qualification.
