The NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety & Risk Management is aimed managers
and supervisory staff that need to ensure that their organisation meets its
responsibilities under fire safety legislation. Courses leading to this
qualification should equip holders to carry out fire risk assessments of most
low risk workplaces and identify the range of fire protective and preventative
measures required. It is therefore also suitable for people moving into fire
safety adviser roles.
The syllabus is based on National Occupational Standards
in Fire Safety at level 3, which has common units with the Emergency Fire
Services National Occupational Standards. Therefore the NEBOSH Fire Safety and
Risk Management Certificate may also be of benefit to fire service personnel
developing their underpinning knowledge as part of the Integrated Personal
Development System.
