HE1265 : NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
The Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) qualification looks at fire safety and can be applied in many sectors. On completion of the qualification, your learners will be able to:
•
Justify fire safety improvements using moral and financial arguments;
•
Advise how fires and explosions can occwur and the appropriate controls to minimise fire and explosion risks;
•
Advise their employer on the requirements for the fire protection of premises and workers including the appropriate training obligations;
•
Carry out a fire risk assessment in their own workplace – prioritising risks, inspecting the workplace, recognising a range of common fire hazards, evaluating risks (taking account of current controls), recommending further control measures, planning actions
All elements (1-6) are assessed by an open book examination. The practical assessment will be a fire risk assessment. It draws on the common workplace fire hazards in elements 2-6, as well as the process of fire risk assessment covered in element 6. Both assessments will be marked by NEBOSH.
Unit FSC1 is a taught unit, assessed by five-hour open book online examination. Candidate scripts are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH.
Further, unit FSC2 is assessed by a practical application carried out in the participant’s own workplace. The practical examination is internally assessed by Haward Technology and moderated by NEBOSH.
