Study and Professional Reference Companion

International Construction • Fire Safety • Environmental Management • Process Safety • Oil and Gas

Modern safety and environmental risks do not remain neatly inside professional boundaries. Construction work can impair fire protection. Firewater can cause environmental pollution. Contractor activity can compromise process containment. A single equipment failure can affect workers, surrounding communities, business continuity and the environment.

NEBOSH Specialist Safety and Environmental Qualifications — Study and Professional Reference Companion brings five important specialist disciplines together in one substantial independent volume:

International Construction Safety

Fire Safety

Environmental Management

Process Safety Management

International Oil and Gas Operational Safety

Written by experienced operational and safety leader Robert Porter, the compendium teaches common management principles once and then shows how they must be applied differently within each specialist environment.

The shared foundation covers leadership, culture, human factors, risk assessment, contractor management, permits, isolation, management of change, emergency planning, incident investigation and assurance.

Dedicated specialist divisions provide detailed coverage of international construction, fire science and fire-risk assessment, environmental aspects and impacts, process-hazard analysis, HAZOP, asset integrity, hydrocarbon containment, drilling, offshore operations and oil-spill response.

Every major topic includes:

A concise reference explanation

A realistic specialist scenario

A reusable field-reference page

Critical-control and evidence prompts

The qualification section explains command words, scenario-based assessments, practical assessments, research, referencing, closing interviews and academic integrity. Twenty-five professional tools support risk assessment, permit control, environmental review, fire safety, HAZOP preparation, bow-tie assurance, process start-up, SIMOPS and incident investigation.

This book is designed for:

NEBOSH learners

Qualified safety practitioners

Construction managers

Fire and facilities managers

Environmental professionals

Process-industry managers

Oil and gas supervisors

Contractor and project leaders

Anyone working across several risk disciplines

Five specialisms. One connected risk system.
