NEBOSH certifications are highly regarded in the field of occupational health and safety and are widely recognized by employers around the world.
The NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) is one of the most popular NEBOSH certifications. It is designed to provide a broad understanding of key health and safety issues in the workplace. The NEBOSH IGC consists of two units: IG1 and IG2.
IG1 - Management of Health and Safety
- This unit focuses on the principles of health and safety management.
- Topics include policy development, organizing for health and safety, risk assessment, and measuring performance.
IG2 - Risk Assessment Practical Application
- IG2 is a practical assessment where candidates apply the knowledge gained in IG1 to conduct a risk assessment in their workplace.
- Candidates are required to complete a risk assessment and provide a short report.
Completing both units successfully leads to the NEBOSH International General Certificate. This certification is suitable for individuals working in various industries who are responsible for health and safety and wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in managing workplace risks.

BizSAFE is a program initiated by the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council in Singapore. It is designed to enhance workplace safety and health by guiding organizations through a structured approach toward risk management. The program provides a framework to help companies assess and manage workplace risks systematically.
There are several levels within the BizSAFE program, with each level representing a progression in an organization's commitment to safety:
1. BizSAFE Level 1: This is an introductory level where top management or business owners attend a one-day workshop to understand the importance of WSH and the BizSAFE program.
2. BizSAFE Level 2: After completing Level 1, organizations need to develop a Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) policy. They also need to nominate a Risk Management Champion to attend a BizSAFE Level 2 Risk Management course.
3. BizSAFE Level 3: Organizations, with the assistance of a WSH auditor, conduct a risk assessment and implement risk control measures. The organization submits the Risk Management Implementation Plan (RMIP) for assessment by an approved WSH auditor. Successful completion leads to BizSAFE Level 3 certification.
4. BizSAFE Level 4: At this level, top management attends a BizSAFE Level 4 workshop to deepen their understanding of WSH. The organization then submits the necessary documents, including the company's WSH policy, risk management audit, and Level 4 workshop attendance certificates, to attain BizSAFE Level 4.
5. BizSAFE STAR: This is the highest level of certification in the BizSAFE program. To achieve BizSAFE STAR, an organization must implement a Workplace Safety and Health Management System (WSHMS) and undergo a detailed audit by a WSH Council-approved WSH auditor.
BizSAFE certification demonstrates an organization's commitment to workplace safety and health, and it is often a requirement in many procurement processes in Singapore. It not only enhances the safety culture within the organization but also contributes to better business opportunities as it is recognized and valued by clients and partners.
Workplace Risk Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive workplace risk assessment in collaboration with the organization. This involves identifying and evaluating potential hazards, assessing the level of risk associated with each hazard, and proposing effective control measures.
Development of Risk Management Implementation Plan (RMIP): Assist the organization in developing a detailed Risk Management Implementation Plan (RMIP) that outlines the strategies and measures to be implemented to address identified risks. This plan is a key requirement for BizSAFE Level 3 certification.
Training and Capacity Building: Provide training sessions for employees involved in WSH matters, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to implement risk control measures effectively. This may include conducting workshops and seminars on risk management practices.
Documentation Support: Guide the organization in preparing the required documentation for BizSAFE Level 3 certification, including the RMIP, WSH policy, and other relevant documents. Ensure that all documentation meets the standards set by the WSH Council.
Audit Preparation: Prepare the organization for the BizSAFE Level 3 audit conducted by WSH Council-approved auditors. This involves conducting internal audits to assess the readiness of the organization and addressing any areas of improvement identified during the internal audit.
Implementation of Control Measures: Work closely with the organization to ensure the effective implementation of control measures based on the risk assessment findings. This involves assisting in the development and execution of action plans to mitigate or eliminate identified risks.
Submission and Liaison: Assist in the submission of all required documents to the WSH Council for BizSAFE Level 3 certification. Act as a liaison between the organization and the WSH Council to facilitate a smooth certification process.
Continuous Improvement: Encourage and support the organization in fostering a culture of continuous improvement in workplace safety and health. This includes providing guidance on periodic reviews of the risk assessment, updating control measures, and staying informed about changes in regulations and best practices.
