No qualification – no chance!

Anyone looking for a
health and safety job
without suitable
qualifications ‘need not
apply’ according to new
research.

The 2011 NEBOSH
Jobs Barometer found
that just three of 100 nationally
advertised health and safety
vacancies failed to specify an
appropriate level qualification or
professional status.

Between 23rd March and 6 April
2011, NEBOSH (National
Examination Board in
Occupational Safety and
Health) examined one
hundred job adverts for
health and safety managers or
advisors. In 93 cases, a
NEBOSH qualification and/or
Technician Membership of
IOSH or higher was specified.
