‘Want to progress your Health and Safety career, get an environmental qualification’ NEBOSH Research reveals.

More than two out of every three health and safety roles now involve an element of environmental management, NEBOSH has found. The NEBOSH annual Jobs Barometer research  has also revealed a  significant change in job titles reflecting a shift in responsibility for environmental issues, with Health and Safety Managers increasingly becoming known as Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Managers.
NEBOSH Chief Executive Teresa Budworth commented: “our research illustrates, combining a NEBOSH Environmental qualification with other NEBOSH qualifications can help with career progression and will certainly add value to employers. “Teresa continued:  “From our 2013 survey of successful environmental certificate students, of those who responded nearly 97% would recommend the qualifications to others and over 75% of courses were paid for by employers.”
NEBOSH’s Certificate in Environmental Management is an ideal introduction for students throughout the world to environmental management systems, impact assessments and control of pollution. Anyone taking the qualification is also required to carry out an environmental review of their workplace, producing a justified action plan to improve performance. The qualification is accepted by CIWEM – The Chartered  Institution of Water and Environmental Management – to meet the requirements for Technician Membership (TechCIWEM).
Corporate Risk Systems Head of Environment, Richard Ball commented ‘ organisations are looking for professionals who can manage all three HSE disciplines. Whether you are looking to enter the sector, or want to progress to a senior role managing a team, knowledge of environmental issues such as EMS, carbon management and waste management is a moving from desirable to essential. All of our tutors have H,S and E backgrounds to help you to understand the links and differences between environmental issues and health & safety. ‘
