NeBOSH & IOSH Worth it?

[Syd_B]

Is it worth getting the Nebosh or Iosh Working safely and Managing safely tickets?

 

I have got my name down to do the Lantra Health and Safety 4 day course, but is it worth the extra expense?

Not unless your going to be going ISO or wish to do H&S consultancy IMO.

Hi Syd,

 

All knowledge is useful, particularly if you're involved in managing H&S and/or have 'employer responsibilities'. We recommend all managers, ideally, should have the IOSH MS and in larger businesses where roles are more defined in managing H&S then NEBOSH is useful.

 

The Lantra H&S course is very good, my colleague Simon attended it previously, but it isn't as 'globally' recognised as IOSH/NEBOSH outside of the landbased industry (all our ArbAC assessors have done the NEBOSH because of this.)

 

It's too easy to dismiss this kind of training / education as "not applicable" becasue it's labelled 'H&S' and not NPTC or 'Arb' but fundamentally it is and will help.

 

There, I'll prepare to be 'shot down'

 

Cheers..

Paul

Thanks guys. So its worth it, but on the list of future spends, rather than "Musts" for now then?

Dont you have to pay them money every year to keep letters after your name and to keep your qualification.
