Around 200,000 people, or one in
every 145 working adults, now holds
a NEBOSH qualification in Britain.

Teresa Budworth, CE of NEBOSH,
believes those who hold health,
safety and environmental
qualifications make a huge difference
to Britain’s workplaces.

“We mustn’t under-estimate the
contribution these people make to
the world of work. Of course, it’s
difficult to know just how many
needless deaths, injuries or
disastrous incidents those who are
qualified in health, safety and
environment actually prevent, or the
number of prosecutions or legal
cases they help employers avoid, but
in my mind they’re unsung heroes.”
NEBOSH qualifications range
from an introductory Health and
Safety at Work qualification to
professional level diplomas.
