See the whole picture of risk.
Health and safety is only one kind of risk an organisation faces. Financial, operational, reputational and strategic risks all need managing too. The NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk, developed jointly with the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management, gives you a framework for all of them.
It suits anyone who needs to identify and manage risk, and especially specialists in safety, quality or business continuity who want a broader view.
The certificate explained.

Good risk management is not about avoiding every risk. It is about understanding which risks matter, deciding which to accept, and controlling the rest in a structured, consistent way.
The course covers the principles of risk and risk management, the risk management process from identification through to monitoring, and the framework an organisation needs to make risk management part of how it works. It draws on recognised international standards for risk management.
It is an introductory qualification, ideal as a first step into wider risk management or as a complement to a health and safety qualification.
