From July 2026
The NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award (HSW) is the ideal introduction to workplace health and safety — an internationally recognized Level 2 qualification from NEBOSH, the UK's leading health and safety examination board. Designed for an international audience with no UK-specific law content, it gives every employee the practical skills to identify hazards, understand risk assessment, and contribute to a safer workplace.
Over 3 days at our Abu Dhabi training center or live online from anywhere in the UAE and GCC, you'll cover health and safety principles, risk assessment and control strategies, and how to manage common workplace hazards including fire, electrical, transport, and manual handling risks.
The NEBOSH HSW is the recommended first step before the NEBOSH IGC. For companies, it's a cost-effective way to build safety culture across the whole workforce — helping reduce accidents, meet UAE compliance expectations, and cut incident-related costs.
Foundations of Workplace Health and Safety — Why health and safety matters: moral, legal, and financial drivers; roles and responsibilities of employers and workers.
Risk Assessment — Hazard identification, the risk assessment process, likelihood and consequence, and practical risk rating.
Risk Control Strategies — The hierarchy of control and how to apply control measures proportionately in real workplaces.
Common Workplace Hazards — Applying controls to fire safety, electrical safety, workplace transport, manual handling, and other everyday hazards.
Improving Safety Culture — How every employee contributes to accident prevention and a positive health and safety culture.
The NEBOSH HSW course suits anyone who needs a solid grounding in workplace safety:
Team leaders and supervisors taking on safety responsibilities
HR professionals managing workplace compliance
Facilities and office managers
New and existing employees in any industry — construction, oil & gas, hospitality, logistics, retail
School leavers and career starters entering the UAE job market
Anyone planning to progress to the NEBOSH IGC
There is no written exam. The HSW Award (Unit HSA1) is assessed through a 3-hour workplace health and safety review — a practical assessment where you apply what you've learned to a real workplace. Our trainers guide you through the review format with practice exercises and a mock assessment, and we handle your NEBOSH registration end to end. On passing, you receive the NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award certificate, recognized by employers internationally.
Not sure which course to choose? Start with the NEBOSH HSW if you're new to health and safety, need a recognized qualification quickly, or want to train your full workforce — it's the ideal 3-day foundation with no prerequisites. Go straight to the NEBOSH IGCif you're targeting a safety officer or HSE role, as most UAE employers list it as a requirement. Many learners complete HSW first, then progress to IGC with credit for the fundamentals already covered. Still unsure?
