🦺 NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC)

Independent exam-prep for the NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety. Covers the full syllabus across Unit IG1 (managing health & safety) and Unit IG2 (risk assessment and the major workplace hazards) — the management system, the law and ILO conventions, the risk-assessment process, the hierarchy of control, and the physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, fire, electrical and transport hazards an SHE professional must control. The course is organized into 8 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 70%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.
