This NVQ can also be completed using our unique on-line NVQ system
The Level 5 National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in Occupational Health and Safety Regulation has recently been developed for Health and Safety regulators,
both in Local Authorities and the Health and Safety Executive, in order to enable enforcement officers to prove their competence in this specialised field of
responsibility.
The mandatory Section 18 Guidance to Local Authorities issued by the Health and Safety Commission includes a requirement relating to the ‘provision of a trained
and competent inspectorate’ and recognises the above NVQ as ‘a means of demonstrating the achievement of the necessary standards of competence’.
The recently published ‘Strategy for workplace health and safety in Great Britain to 2010 and beyond’, and the associated likelihood that local authorities will
have an enhanced enforcement role in the future, will give greater emphasis to the need for consistency in the area of training and competency between local
authority and HSE inspectors.
Business Safety Systems is widely acknowledged as one of the leading and most successful NVQ providers in the country, with over 900 successful candidates, including
Environmental Health Officers and Technicians.
We employ assessors who are experienced in Health and Safety enforcement and who have been successful in guiding candidates through the previous level 4 equivalent.
We have also now developed the means of developing and assessing the NVQ evidence portfolio using our unique NVQ on-line facility, thereby substantially reducing
the time and effort required for these processes.
Knowledge and experience requirements
Candidates must possess the necessary knowledge and experience, and must be active in the field of enforcement of workplace health and safety, either within the Health
and Safety Executive or Local Authority Sector.
Interested candidates may seek advice from one of our qualified NVQ assessors regarding their suitability for this qualification.
