NVQ Level 4 in Occupational Health and Safety Practice
Aims and Objectives
A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) is a qualification that recognises the competence of a person in a work situation. Unlike traditional qualifications that rely on teaching and examinations, NVQs use performance on the job as a basis for assessment.
The NVQ Level 4 in Occupational Health and Safety Practice is specific to people who are actively involved in the practice or management of health and safety as part of their job or role. The Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) accepts this qualification for membership at Graduate level (GradIOSH) and upon completion of their Initial Professional Development (IPD) programme, candidates can achieve Chartered level membership (CMIOSH). The International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) accept this qualification for full Member status (MIIRSM).
This is a highly practical programme, and one of our team of personal advisors/assessors will assist you to build a portfolio which meets the requirements of City and Guilds for their NVQ Level 4 in Occupational Health and Safety Practice. Our approach is one-to-one, and we structure our programme of assistance to suit your needs as a busy practitioner.
There are ten individual units that must be completed to obtain the overall qualification:
- HSP2 - Promote a positive health and safety culture
- HSP3 - Develop and implement the health and safety policy
- HSP4 - Develop and implement effective communication systems for health and safety information
- HSP5 - Develop and maintain individual and organisational competence in health and safety matters
