Health and Safety

National Occupational Standards

The NOS for Health and Safety are widely imported into other suites of national occupational standards and mapped to qualifications and development programmes. The Standards have a critical role to play in raising standards of practice and awareness of health and safety in the workplace to reduce the number of incidents and accidents. Health and safety awareness also has a role to play as an employability skill. The suite has three parts which are:

  • Standalone Units
  • Practitioner Units
  • Regulators Units
