NEBOSH National General Certificate — Study and Practice Companion

UK Health and Safety Management, Workplace Hazards and Practical Risk Assessment

LEARN | APPLY | EVIDENCE | ASSESS | IMPROVE

Passing the NEBOSH National General Certificate requires more than memorising legislation. Learners must understand health and safety principles, recognise how they apply to workplace situations and communicate proportionate, evidence-based solutions.

NEBOSH National General Certificate — Study and Practice Companion is a substantial independent learning and professional reference guide for the revised GNC1 and GNC2 qualification.

Written by experienced operational and safety leader Robert Porter, the book connects qualification knowledge with the decisions managers, supervisors and safety practitioners face in real workplaces. It explains not only what learners need to understand, but how to analyse scenarios, evaluate existing controls, justify improvements and produce answers that address the question being asked.

The book covers UK health and safety law, management systems, leadership, human factors, risk assessment, incident investigation, occupational health, hazardous substances, workplace safety, work equipment, fire and electricity. A dedicated GNC2 section guides readers through planning a suitable and sufficient workplace risk assessment and producing a credible action plan.

Every subject is supported by concise reference pages, diagrams, application standards and scenario-practice exercises. Reusable tools help readers plan answers, organise evidence, prepare for the closing interview and transfer their learning into professional practice.

The book is equally valuable after qualification, providing a structured workplace reference for inspections, investigations, contractor reviews, risk assessments and management conversations.

Knowledge helps you pass. Applied judgement helps you protect people.
