    Why It Pays For

    Businesses To Invest In

    IOSH Managing Safely

    Courses

    Safety in the workplace is not just

    about putting up signage or giving

    talks to your employees. It is not also about the number of days in which the

    workplace has been accident-free. Safety in the workplace is about establishing a

    culture and a set of practices wherein the workers and management work hand in

    hand to ensure that processes are efficient and potential risks are reduced.

    IOSH Managing Safely courses are specifically designed to address these issues.

    After all, an accident in the workplace does not simply mean cessation of

    operations in the workplace which can send ripples in the productivity in the

    company. An accident can also mean hampering the victim's ability to earn for

    himself and his family. Also, accidents set up companies for legal proceedings and

    compensation awards, not to mention bad publicity.

    Quite often, workers miss the point of undergoing health and safety training,thinking that wearing the right protective gear and being mindful of their tasks

    are more than enough to keep the workplace safe. This may not be entirely their

    fault as some courses do not fully engage the attention of the participants and fail

    to contextualise the lessons to the unique and specific needs of the participants.

    As such, the challenge for providers is not merely to impart knowledge and help

    the workforce build a culture of safety, but also to make the lessons more

    appealing to the learners through various techniques which will hold their

    attention, pique their interest, gauge their current situation and move them to

    action.

    Organisations, big or small, can greatly benefit from such training courses as they

    can give their employees the necessary skills and knowledge to make the

    workplace safe and productive. Even individuals can benefit from such training

    courses as they can add expertise in

    health and safety to their curriculum

    vitae.

    In the past, those who wanted to

    attend such courses had to earmark a

    specific number of days to attend

    training. However, with

    advancements in computers and the

    Internet, those who wish to undergo

    health and safety training can now do

    so by simply going online. This gives the learner the opportunity to learn at his

    own pace, setting aside a few hours to learn after finishing his tasks at work.

    Additionally, experts on the course are at the ready to provide additional

    information or clarify issues that the learner finds difficulty in grasping.

    In order to grow and remain competitive, companies must continuously invest.

    But this does not simply mean capital investments in equipment or adding more

    personnel. This can mean upgrading the knowledge and skills of your workforce

    to ensure productivity and safety in the workplace. Check outwww.wiseglobaltraining.comfor more information.

    Keeping Pace With The

    Changes In Business

    With NEBOSH National

    General Certificate

    The business world is in a constant

    state of evolution. Social media is

    changing the habits of consumers.

    Today's technologies are rendered obsolete with new equipment manufactured

    and more efficient processes developed. As such, businesses, big or small, must

    learn to adapt by investing in new technologies and upgrading the skills andknowledge of its managers, supervisors and other critical personnel. This includes

    the NEBOSH National General Certificate (NGC) courses.

    NEBOSH or the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health is a

    qualification organisation that was established in 1979. The organisation offers

    vocational qualifications encompassing health and safety, risk management and

    environmental needs of business entities.

    Since the NGC certificate was launched in 1989, more than 100,000 people in theUK have held the certificate. Businesses across various industries along with their

    key personnel can benefit from taking an NGC course as they cover a range of

    health and safety issues which are essential for a workforce to become safe and

    productive.

    Individual professionals, too, can benefit from getting certified by NEBOSH as they

    can add competencies into their CVs. Additionally, getting certified opens up

    more job opportunities (even overseas) as those with competencies in risk andhazard control are in much demand. This is one of the primary reasons why about

    35,000 people apply for these courses.

    Currently, there are more than 450 recognised training providers all over the

    world. Professional organisations like the Institution of Occupational Safety and

    Health (IOSH), Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA)

    and the Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) all recognise NEBOSH

    qualifications.

    Additionally, NEBOSH is recognised by the Office of the Qualifications andExaminations Regulator (Ofqual) in England, the Council for the Curriculum,

    Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) in Northern Ireland, Scottish Qualifications

    Authority (SQA) in Scotland, and the Department of Children, Education, Lifelong

    Learning and Skills (DCELLS) in Wales.

    Although many individuals take the NGC as

    a stepping stone for career advancement

    in the field of health and safety, many

    companies will benefit from having their

    key personnel take the course. For one, it

    empowers their personnel to prevent, if

    not handle competently, the various health

    and safety risks associated in the

    workplace. Upgrading the capability of

    personnel through NEBOSH is also a step

    towards protecting its assets as well asensuring safety and productivity in the

    workplace. Reducing accidents through

    proper and adequate training can also

    reinforce a positive public image as

    shareholders and the community see the

    company's commitment to upholding high standards in its operations. Click here

    Get Better Job Opportunities With A

    NEBOSH International General

    Certificate

    In the last few years, the borders between countries

    have been blurred. With the latest technologies,

    people from different time zones were given the

    opportunity to socialise and collaborate.

    Additionally, the number of jobs available abroad

    has increased significantly compared to a few yearsback when there have been limited opportunities in

    specific sectors only. In addition, more and more companies are expanding their

    reach, scaling up their operations globally.

    If you want to take advantage of these changes in the global job market, it is not

    merely enough to have a degree and some years of experience. The global stage

    requires its players to have certain competencies that meet established

    standards, especially if you are eyeing employment in the health and safety

    sector. In order to land better opportunities overseas, it is not merely enough to

    prepare yourself to adapt to new environments and new cultures. It is essential

    for you to get a NEBOSH International General Certificate.

    NEBOSH or the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health is

    an independent examination board which develops syllabi and assessment

    methods for health, safety and environmental management. The organisation

    was established in 1979. As such, organisations like the International Institute of

    Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) and the Institution of Occupational Safety

    and Health (IOSH) recognise NEBOSH qualifications. Today, the estimated number

    of people who are NEBOSH certified is at 180,000.

    While businesses and their key personnel can benefit from getting the NEBOSH

    International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, those who

    want to have a career in the health and safety sector stand to benefit the most

    from the training course.

    An international certificate is not

    merely a requirement for overseas

    employment. By undergoing

    certification, one can acquaint himself

    with the policies and regulations that

    are enforced overseas and which have

    a bearing in the performance of your

    job there. Additionally, you will learn

    health and safety principles which

    have practical applications in the

    workplace. In turn, this means that you can act proactively to promote a more

    productive and safer workplace through the use of the right equipment and the

    establishment of a culture of safety. Training courses are broken down into three

    stages: management, control and practical application.

    As mentioned earlier, technology continues to play a significant role not only inthe daily lives of an individual, but more particularly, in the aspect of work. This

    includes the upgrading of skills through courses. In the same manner, NEBOSH

    certification can be obtained via an eLearning approach. This means that an

    individual can learn at his own pace without compromising the quality of training

    he gets. Check out Wise Global Training Ltd. for more information regarding

    NEBOSH International General Certificate.

    NEBOSH Oil and Gas Certificate

    Underscoring The Value Of

    Safety In The Workplace

    Oil and gas power modern civilisation,

    literally and figuratively.

    From industries to households, oil and gas

    enable the production of goods and ensure

    that people enjoy the creature comforts that

    are associated with modern living. As such,

    the oil and gas industries are but some of the most lucrative sectors in the global

    marketplace. These industries offer some of the best perks and benefits that an

    average pencil pusher can only dream of. Also, these industries offer numerous

    job opportunities to citizens of the world, from drillers to engineers.

    But these benefits often come at a steep price. One wrong move can spell

    disaster. But more than this, workers in these industries are exposed to harmful

    chemicals on a daily basis; these may have the potential to endanger their health,

    and even their life, if they are ill-equipped and do not have the right training in

    handling them.

    Because of the associated risks, companies engaged in these sectors benefit

    greatly from personnel who have the NEBOSH Oil and Gas Certificate. Unlike jobs

    in other sectors where knowledge and skills can be picked up by studying in a

    university or even while performing a job, knowledge and skills in health, safety

    and environmental management, hydrocarbon process safety, fire protection andemergency response, and logistics and transport operations can only be acquired

    through specialist training.

    Essentially, the course is designed for managers, supervisors, employee

    representatives and health and safety advisers employed in the oil and gas

    industries. The certificate is a perfect

    complement to the NEBOSH NGC.

    As an employee, you can greatly benefit from

    taking the course. For one, you will gain

    another perspective regarding your job and

    your industry as a whole. This means you

    become a proactive participant in establishing

    a culture of safety in the workplace. But aside

    from this, NEBOSH certification is globally

    recognised. This means that you can easily get

    better job opportunities especially in the oil

    and gas sectors.

    But it is not only the key personnel that

    benefit from having a NEBOSH certified

    employee. They can benefit with the knowledge that their company is at the

    hands of competent individuals which ensure productivity and safety. This, in

    turn, equates to peace of mind knowing that costly accidents and the unfortunateloss of lives are kept in check, if not prevented.

    One good thing about taking the course is that you do not have to take time off

    from work. With the availability of online courses, you can upgrade your

    knowledge and skills right in the comfort of your own home or office at the time

    and pace that is most convenient to you. Visit www.wiseglobaltraining.com for

    Keeping Accidents At Bay

    Through The IOSH Working

    Safely Course

    Often, plans and policies are put into place by

    businesses as a means to comply with legislation

    and industry regulations. But more often than

    not, these are inadequate to respond to the

    realities of the workplace. In order to generate

    awareness and instil a sense of cooperation and

    mutual responsibility in the workplace,

    companies can benefit from having their

    employees undergo an IOSH Working Safely course.

    If a worker from the Industrial Age caught a glimpse of the modern working place,

    his jaws would have dropped. Simply put, the modern worker enjoys a safer

    workplace, better pay and shorter work shifts. He has modern technology at his

    disposal to ensure not only that he becomes more efficient and productive at his

    work, but more importantly, safer too. Indeed, the modern worker has a lot to be

    thankful for compared to his counterparts in the previous ages.

    But that does not mean that workplace hazards have been completely eliminated.

    This means that each working day, accidents can happen if the workers are not

    mindful and if they neglect standards that have not been institutionalised. A

    worker and his co-employee might be horsing around some dangerous

    equipment. A worker might neglect to replace the tools he used in their proper

    place. An extinguisher that has been around for seven years may have never been

    replaced or recharged. The list can go on and on.

    Safety in the workplace is everyone's responsibility, from the workers up to the

    management. It is not just a set of guidelines or diagrams that need to be

    memorised, it is about being mindful of one's actions, about one's responsibilities

    to himself, his co-employees and to the community. Safety in the workplace is all

    about institutionalising a culture

    wherein one recognises the

    consequences of wrong actions and

    attitudes.

    Quite often, many employees fail to

    grasp concepts presented by other

    safety training courses. This happens

    because these types of courses have

    not been designed to accommodate

    workers from various levels. With an IOSH Working Safely course, training can be

    completed within a day. This means that the course is structured in such a way

    that concepts related to making the workplace much safer are taught in a manner

    that can be easily grasped and remembered.

    Employees benefit from this course as they are equipped with the competencies

    required to keep accidents at bay. In the event that an accident does happen,

    they become better prepared to assess the situation and handle it more

    competently. Employers, too, can benefit greatly from it. Aside from ensuring that

    the workplace becomes safe and the production is not hampered by any

    untoward incident, they can foster better relationships with their employeeswhile cultivating a good public image.Click hereto learn more.
