Description
The Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety helps learners demonstrate practical competence in identifying hazards, controlling workplace risks, following health and safety requirements and supporting safe work activities.
Unlike a classroom-only course, an NVQ is based on what the learner can demonstrate in a suitable job role or work placement. Evidence may include risk assessments, inspections, reports, procedures, photographs, meeting records, witness testimony, assessor observations and professional discussions.
The programme is suitable for learners who want to formalise their existing responsibilities, strengthen their professional profile and build a foundation for further occupational health and safety development.
Who Is This Course For?
The course may be suitable for people who already carry out health and safety activities or support operational safety within their organisation, including:
- Junior Health and Safety Officers
- Health and Safety Assistants
- Safety Coordinators
- Safety Representatives
- Site Supervisors
- Operational Supervisors and Team Leaders
- Employees who support workplace inspections and risk assessments
- Personnel involved in incident reporting and corrective actions
- People seeking a practical route into occupational health and safety
- Learners planning progression towards higher-level health and safety qualifications
Eligibility Requirements

- Access to a suitable workplace or approved work placement
- A role that includes relevant health and safety activities or responsibilities
- Permission to use appropriate workplace evidence, subject to confidentiality requirements
- Ability to communicate with the assessor and respond to assessment questions
