Qualifications Essential

April 2012

The 2012 NEBOSH Jobs Barometer research has once again highlighted that qualifications are essential and no longer a luxury when applying to work in health and safety.

NEBOSH examined adverts for roles as Health & Safety Managers or Advisors and found that a NEBOSH qualification and/or Technician Membership of IOSH or higher was specified in 90% of cases.

A Healthy Industry

The number of roles in health & safety has remained stable throughout the past 12 months.

The research also highlighted that health & safety management applicants are most likely to find a position in the Midlands with an annual salary of approximately £44k. 30% of roles were located in the Midlands, almost double that of 2011.

Environmental Responsibilities

Environmental responsibilities and management qualifications featured heavily once again, with mentions in 62% of adverts.

NEBOSH Chief Executive, Teresa Budworth, commented: “Obviously we’re delighted that more employers than ever before are insisting that health and safety job applicants hold a NEBOSH qualification. But what’s more important is that high standards are not just being maintained, but are improving. This is crucial if employers are to protect lives, prevent injury and avoid the negative effects of poor health in the workplace.

  • "This was my first online only course and I was quite apprehensive as my preferred method of learning is in the classroom. I am converted, the engagement and interaction I enjoy was all there, delivered excellently by a very professional and knowledgeable tutor. All the course material was delivered to my home address and communication with Astutis throughout was 1st class."

  • "I loved this course. Having previous experience in LCA I already knew some of the concepts. Still, this course allowed me to broaden my horizons on how companies report their carbon footprint, the places where you can find the best emission factors, and how to address some of the most common problems when accounting for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Both instructors were very clear in their explanations and always ready to clear any doubts."

    11.06.2025
  • "Course materials arrived well in advance. Rhys was great answering all my queries and chasing up on my behalf and always very courteous. All in all the staff I dealt with at Astutis were very professional."
