About NEBOSH risk assessment

The NEBOSH risk assessment award helps people develop practical skills for managing everyday workplace risks. Developed with the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE), it focuses on a sensible approach to risk assessment.

Participants learn to recognise hazards, consider who may be harmed and identify suitable precautions. The emphasis is on actions that reduce genuine risk rather than unnecessary paperwork.

Key learning areas

• Identify workplace hazards and those exposed to risk
• Assess risks using a practical, proportionate process
• Choose measures that reduce the likelihood or impact of harm
• Record and review risk assessment decisions
