Anybody on this forum work in health and safety?

I am looking at doing a Nebosh General Certificate and Construction Certificate... And was wondering How easy or how hard it is to get work upon Completion.

I have had 1 person mention national grid, I cnat remember who it was so would be grateful if that person could inbox me...

Anybody else's input much appreciated

It was Reverend.

Can't comment on how easy / hard it is to get work on completion, but I know that anything H&S in my company (Severn Trent) really looks favourably on Nebosh / Iosh trained people when advertising roles in that area.

Health and safety is for snowflakes!

In all seriousness, it was the reverend who mentioned NG. He doesn't post as often as he used. Perhaps DM him.

Booked myself on the nebosh general certificate course in Birmingham, being held at St Andrews of all places

I strongly recommend the NEBOSH route. I have never looked back. PM me if you would like to talk.

Is that safe? Life saver checks and all that?

I would say it is relatively easy to get a job in H&S with a couple of decent qualifications behind you (we struggle to find good people when we have vacancies - most applicants are chancers or no-hopers!). Doing NEBOSH Construction is a good call, but consider a Fire qualification too - there are often organisations looking for a decent Fire adviser.
I'd hold off on going beyond certificate level until you get your foot in the door somewhere, so that you (a) know you enjoy the line of work, and (b) may be able to get them to pay for at least some of it!
There are more and more ways of getting to Diploma level now, not just via NEBOSH, and plenty with distance learning options. I did a university diploma, which might be an option for you too.

I'd say now is a good time to get into it too - everyone suddenly loves someone who can do their Covid risk assessments for them!

My life at work is consumed with COVID RA, I have no time to do all the other parts of my job, monitoring work quality is hard to find the time for. Hopfully next year all should get back to normal.

Exactly the same for me and everyone i work with (and know in the profession)!
