About NEBOSH HSE Award in Managing Risks and Risk Assessment at Work course

The NEBOSH HSE Award in Managing Risks and Risk Assessment at Work is an introductory qualification designed for people who carry out, contribute to, or review workplace risk assessments as part of their role. Developed by NEBOSH in collaboration with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the course reflects current HSE guidance and good practice.

The course focuses on the step-by-step process of managing risk, starting with why organisations must control health and safety risks and how to prioritise those with the greatest potential for harm. Learners develop a clear understanding of key risk assessment terminology and explore when risk assessments are required, why they must be reviewed, and what makes them suitable and sufficient.

A significant part of the course is dedicated to identifying hazards, assessing risk, and selecting proportionate control measures. Learners explore the hierarchy of control, the importance of worker consultation, and the benefits and limitations of model risk assessments.

The course also covers special risk assessment scenarios, including young persons, lone working, and dynamic risk assessments, helping learners recognise when additional considerations are required.

The day concludes with a practical assessment, where learners complete a structured risk assessment exercise based on a realistic workplace scenario, applying their learning in a practical and meaningful way.
