The series of Study Books for NEBOSH National Diploma consists of three books,
Managing Health and Safety, Hazardous Agents in the Workplace, and Workplace
and Work Equipment Safety. They are designed to provide a health and safety
knowledge base for those studying to NEBOSH National Diploma.
The 4th edition of these essential health and safety guides have been revised
to meet the February 2010 specification for the NEBOSH National Diploma in
Occupational Health and Safety.
These publications are an excellent reference source for those active at NVQ
Level 5, or undertaking University Diploma programmes and equivalent
qualifications. They are also a valuable reference source for qualified
health and safety practitioners and those with line management responsibilities
for health and safety practitioners and those with line management
responsibilities for health and safety.
The books, where appropriate, are supported by a variety of photographs and
sketches; together with an abridged reference to legislation which students
have found particularly useful.
The NEBOSH National Diploma is accredited by the Scottish Qualifications
Authority (SQA) at Level 10 in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications
Framework (SCQF). For users in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, this
is broadly comparable to a Vocationally-Related Qualification (VRQ) at Level
6 in the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). Both are comparable to
Honours degree level.
The NEBOSH National Diploma syllabus is mapped against the relevant National
Occupational Standards (NOS) for Health and Safety (Practitioner units) and
reflects the management model in HSG65 ‘Successful Health and Safety
Management’ - the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guide on how organisations
should manage health and safety.
