Description
The Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice recognises advanced practical competence. It is intended for professionals who are already responsible for managing workplace risks, developing procedures, monitoring safety performance, influencing culture and supporting organisational compliance.
The qualification is achieved by demonstrating what the learner can do in a real occupational health and safety role. Assessment is based on a structured portfolio containing authentic evidence such as policies, risk assessments, audits, monitoring reports, incident investigations, meeting records, communication systems and professional discussions.
The programme is especially suitable for working professionals who want formal recognition of their experience without leaving employment to complete a classroom-only course.

The diploma is designed for experienced professionals who manage or influence occupational health and safety practice, including:
- Health and Safety Managers
- HSE Managers and HSE Leads
- Senior Health and Safety Officers
- Senior Health and Safety Advisors
- Occupational Health and Safety Practitioners
- Health and Safety Consultants
- Risk and Compliance Managers
- Health and Safety Auditors
- Contractor Safety Managers
- Operational Managers with significant safety responsibilities
- Professionals preparing for higher-level safety leadership roles
Eligibility Requirements
Because this is an advanced competence-based qualification, learners must work in a role that provides sufficient authority, responsibility and access to complex occupational health and safety activities. An initial review should confirm that the learner can generate evidence across the required areas.
