Two employees at Michell Bearings have officially passed their NEBOSH National General Certificate following internal training.

The NEBOSH National General Certificate is a globally recognised qualification in occupational health and safety management designed to give delegates a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of safety in the workplace.

The qualification will enhance the knowledge and skills of our employees to support them in their role, as well as give them added confidence and competence to work in line with legislation.

Within Michell Bearings, this qualification will also enhance the overall safety culture, helping us to reduce accidents at our site.

In order to pass the NEBOSH National General Certificate, our employees needed to complete two health and safety modules:

• • Management of Health and Safety: This module covers health and safety management principles, including an exam assessing their practical knowledge.
  • Risk Assessment: This module focuses on applying risk assessment techniques, as well as completing a practical assessment. The criteria includes understanding legal requirements, hazard identification, risk assessment, control measures and effective communications.

Greg Harrison, Central HSE Trainer at British Engines, said: “Our 2023 NEBOSH courses were attended by fantastic students who made a huge effort to take their knowledge of occupational health and safety to the next level.

The benefits of completing this course were evident from the first session and our employees continue to implement improvements to their businesses based on the knowledge they have gained.”

Well done to our employees who successfully passed the NEBOSH Certificate:

• • Lee Hope, Team Leader at Michell Bearings
  • Paul Taylor, Operations Manager at Michell Bearings
