IGC2 and IGC3: Control of International Workplace Hazards

The vast majority of occupational injuries and incidents of ill-health are avoidable by good health and safety management; and good health and safety management should be recognised as an essential element of good overall management. With increasing globalisation comes the need for a common and consistent standard for achieving the health and safety of workers in all parts of the world.

Why should I attend?

The aim of the NEBOSH International General Certificate is to provide those making day-to-day decisions at work with a broad knowledge of health and safety issues.

This highly interactive five day course has been designed for all those involved in health and safety who require sound training leading to an internationally recognised qualification through examination and assessment. It is a unique international health and safety standard award. It has the same format and content as the National Certificate but focuses on internationally recognised health and safety standards and priorities (ILO/18001) and best practice in controlling hazards.

The course is based on a balanced combination of classroom teaching, workshop sessions and syndicate exercises supported by practical demonstrations and exercises within the industrial environment.

Successful completion of IGC1, IGC2, and the practical assessment IGC3, grants delegates the Full International Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health

IGC3 - Practical Assessment Procedure

Candidates are expected to recognise actual and possible hazards and good – as well as bad – work practices and welfare provisions. While only brief details of each hazard are required, it is important that the assessor can subsequently identify:

  • Where the hazard was located
  • The nature of the hazard
  • The degree of risk associated with the hazard
  • The remedial actions, where appropriate, with relevant prioritisation.

On completion of the inspection, candidates will be provided with lined paper and be allowed about one hour to produce the report, which must be in their own handwriting (unless, exceptionally, special arrangements have been agreed by NEBOSH). Candidates will be given a summary of the headings under which marks will be allocated for the report and observation sheets, and this will include the breakdown of marks for each part. The complete assessment of the practical unit will be carried out under as near examination conditions as possible and should not normally take more than two hours.
