NEBOSH

Who we are

The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is a leading global organisation, which provides health, safety and environmental qualifications. Our internationally recognised qualifications help to raise the competence of safety and environmental professionals as well as individuals at all levels in the workplace. NEBOSH qualifications are highly respected by governments, employers and our learners.

Tens of thousands of people from more than 170 countries study for a NEBOSH qualification every year, learning with our network of over 450 Learning Partners. 

As an internationally recognised charity NEBOSH plays an important role in the health, safety and environmental professional community. Through NEBOSH qualifications, learners and their employers can improve the lives of people around the world by keeping their colleagues and their communities safe from work-related accidents and ill-health.

Our culture and values

People are at the heart of our organisation; it’s no understatement to say that NEBOSH and its learners are in the business of saving lives. Our values guide the way we behave to each other and to our valued stakeholders:

• Ambitious - We aspire to be the best. Our learners and their employers benefit from high quality qualifications that keep their employees and communities safe from harm. Brave, bold, best. 
• Empowering - We empower our employees and learners to gain new skills and develop their careers. We take pride in, and celebrate, their success. Achieve, enable, support.  
• Collaborative - We believe in the power of working together, not just with our fellow colleagues but with learners, learning partners, employers and governments worldwide. Together, engaged, committed.
• Innovative - We encourage creativity and diversity to spearhead developments within NEBOSH and for the profession.  Creative, learned, confident.
• Integrity - We do what we say we will and trust each other to do the right thing. If something goes wrong we help one another to find a solution. Trust, responsibility, loyalty.
• Respect - We treat colleagues and customers with the same consideration with which we would like to be treated ourselves, removing any barriers to achieve working together as one agile team. Honest, equal, fair.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

NEBOSH is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.  

NEBOSH has also recently signed the Federation of Awarding Bodies' Equity, Diversity & Inclusion pledge. The pledge highlights our commitment to the fundamental principles of ensuring equity and inclusivity for all learners, stakeholders and colleagues across the education and skills system
