Health and Safety NVQs - Qualifications that assess workplace performance
Unlike health and safety qualifications that rely on teaching and examinations, a health and safety NVQ uses performance on the job as a basis for assessment, and recognises the competence of a person in a work situation. Because the health and safety NVQ is work-based, and involves the collection of evidence from your normal day to day activities, candidates must be in a role that allows them to provide this in order to undertake a health and safety NVQ qualification, which is a key difference between an NVQ and traditional classroom-based health and safety training. This will probably be individuals who have already acquired some experience, and candidates must be in a health and safety managerial position, able to influence the policy and practice of their organisation.
