NEBOSH
• NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) was
formed in 1979 as an independent examining board and awarding body with charitable
status. We offer a comprehensive range of globally-recognised, vocationally-related
qualifications designed to meet the health, safety, environmental and risk management
needs of all places of work in both the private and public sectors.
• Courses leading to NEBOSH qualifications attract around 35,000 candidates annually and
are offered by over 500 course providers, with exams taken in over 100 countries
around the world. Our qualifications are recognised by the relevant professional
membership bodies including the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH)
and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM).
• NEBOSH examinations and assessments are set by its professionally qualified staff
assisted by external examiners; most of whom are Chartered Safety and Health
Practitioners or Chartered Environmentalists operating within industry, the public sector
or in enforcement.
• Our technical standards are overseen by a Qualification and Technical Council with
representatives drawn from national institutions.
• NEBOSH is an awarding body approved by Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA)
Accreditation, which has a UK-wide regulatory remit.

• The U.S. Chemical Safety Board is authorized by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and became
operational in January 1998. The Senate legislative history states: "The principal role of the new
chemical safety board is to investigate accidents to determine the conditions and circumstances which
led up to the event and to identify the cause or causes so that similar events might be prevented."
Congress gave the CSB a unique statutory mission and provided in law that no other agency or
executive branch official may direct the activities of the Board. Following the successful model of the
National Transportation Safety Board and the Department of Transportation, Congress directed that the
CSB's investigative function be completely independent of the rulemaking, inspection, and enforcement
authorities of EPA and OSHA. Congress recognized that Board investigations would identify chemical
hazards that were not addressed by those agencies. The legislative history states:
• [T]he investigations conducted by agencies with dual responsibilities tend to focus on violations of existing rules
as the cause of the accident almost to the exclusion of other contributing factors for which no enforcement or
compliance actions can be taken. The purpose of an accident investigation (as authorized here) is to determine
the cause or causes of an accident whether or not those causes were in violation of any current and enforceable
requirement.Although the Board was created to function independently, it also collaborates in important
ways with EPA, OSHA, and other agencies. The Board has entered into a number of memorandums of
understanding (MOUs) that define the terms of collaboration. For example, in cases where several
agencies are conducting investigations of a particular accident, the MOUs outline mechanisms for
coordination in the field. The goal of the MOUs is to allow each agency to carry out its statutory mission
efficiently and without unnecessary duplication of effort.
British safety council
• The British workplace is far safer than it was in the 1950s. No organisation has worked as
tirelessly as the British Safety Council to make it that way.
Our founder James Tye was an evangelical campaigner who helped transform the British way of life.
His efforts led directly to the groundbreaking 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act, as well as to the
introduction of car seat belts.
Excellent Health and Safety standards are now a legal requirement in every aspect of British life.
Our job is to help professionals achieve high standards; to protect both their staff and the future of
their business.
• We operate a culture in which we get things done. We do so without taking a profit.
