What: The British Safety Council is introducing an International Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health publicly in India.

The council has been at the forefront of health, safety and environmental training and auditing for over 50 years, providing support and practical solutions to organisations in India for over 25 years. As a registered charity, they exist to help companies introduce, improve and maintain superior standards of health, safety and environmental practice in the workplace.

Their training portfolio includes fully-accredited IOSH (Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) and IEMA (Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment) qualifications, supported by a range of short courses and specialist seminars that deliver practical and proven benefits to clients.

Uniquely, they offer international health and safety qualifications at Certificate and Diploma levels which capture the inevitable variations in international standards and best practices. This ensures that the learning outcomes are functional and relevant, and that delegate's competency levels are equally proven.

Details: The Diploma is fully accredited by IOSH to Grad IOSH level and focuses on international best practice. It is delivered over four weeks with wider reading of the subject matter outside of the classroom. The complete syllabus can be accessed through the following link http://www.britsafe.org/download/training/i-diposh.pdf.

Course Dates:

The Diploma is run all over the world including UK, North Africa, GCC countries, Mainland Europe and now India. It is adopted by government and private industry to develop HSE as a core competency and competitive advantage. The course also provides the opportunity to develop Nationals in each country to an internationally recognised standard. In addition to company sponsorship we have around 25% of delegates each year self funding due to the H&S career progression it delivers. This is particularly high in India which emphasises the spirit of personal professional development which thrives there.

Eligibility: The Diploma is equally applicable to candidates at the start of their H&S careers as well as for those more experienced. It teaches a holistic and best practice approach to safety management. Each Unit focuses on a distinct aspect of the subject including emerging elements such as cultural safety, behavioural safety and strategic integration with the rest of the business.

The British Safety Council has a distinct pedigree of working alongside India's leading organisations. These include ONGC [Get Quote], Reliance [Get Quote], Tata Group and ITC who have all benefited from their international best practice auditing and qualifications.
