NEBOSH Incident Investigation

Course Overview

NEBOSH has collaborated on the development of this specialist qualification with the British Health and Safety Executive (HSE). HSE inspectors have noted that incident investigations were generally very poor. The collaboration, therefore, combines the advanced technical expertise of the HSE with NEBOSH’s ability to deliver strong vocational qualifications. The qualification is aimed at managers, supervisors, SHE Champions, union representatives and aspiring health and safety practitioners. On completion of the qualification, candidates will be able to:

• carry out a solo accident investigation for noncomplex accidents and incidents including:
o gathering of evidence
o analysis of that evidence
• produce an action plan
• contribute to team incident investigations for large-scale incidents.
