FOREWORD TO NEBOSH IGC UNIT 3 – REVISION FOR 2012

This guide has been generated for the benefit of candidates who are to take the IGC 3 as part of their

suite of examinations/assessments for their NEBOSH International General Certificate.

The 2012 has been revised and updated from the previous requirements and the authors of this guide

feel that the new requirement has improved guidelines as to what is expected from candidates, thus

allowing a more structured approach to practical assignment compilation and marking.

Candidates can utilise the knowledge gained in their studies of Units 1 and 2of this course and put it

to good use in their IGC 3 practical assignment.

Candidates are strongly recommended to read this course supplement and to raise any questions that

they have on the content with their Course Tutor prior to the submission of their IGC 3 practical

assignment.

ABOUT THE AND MARKERS OF THE IGC FOR ETA CONSULTANCY

Wasyl Terych is an internationally respected occupational health and

safety professional with well over thirty years’ experience that spans

many industrial, public and commercial sectors in many countries of

the world.

Wasyl commenced his health and safety focus as far back as when

he was an engineering apprentice with AEI GEC way back in 1968

and this saw him in his 20’s working as workplace and later Trade

Union Appointed Safety Representative serving on local as well as

national committees.

Later on in his career Wasyl went into consultancy and has worked

with some well-known international organisations.

He currently works in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates as a Senior

Manager in a consultancy and training organisation attached to one of

the region’s largest employers with 70,000 plus workers in the UAE

alone.

His work as a safety professional, mentor and trainer has seen him engaged in projects around the UK, into most

of Europe, North and Central Africa, the GCC, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and more.

Wasyl has a MA in Health, Safety and Environmental Law from Salford University (UK) as well as numerous

other degrees and qualifications including the NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health.

In his training and advisory role Wasyl delivers courses as well as writing course books and associated materials

for students, candidates and learners taking UK and International qualifications in health, safety and environment

management as well as food safety.

When asked to write the first International General Certificate Course Book he was so pleased, he saw it as a

chance to help and guide people on the right road to understanding health and safety at an early stage of life and

hopefully advance into a career into health and safety, and regardless become more aware of the topic thus

preventing harm to themselves and hopefully many others in the course of their lifetime as he surely has.

This current publication is the 12th

revision and has been written to abide by the 2011/12 course syllabus as

determined by NEBOSH.

ABOUT THE EDITOR

M. Kamarajan has many years’ experience as a trainer in both the

mechanical engineering as well as health and safety arenas in

countries such as India and the Middle East.

Within health and safety he delivers training and awareness sessions

to many governmental and industry sectors with a particular focus on

construction.

Kamarajan has the role of General Manager within ETA Consultancy,

but also carries the responsibility for over 180 Health and Safety

professionals as the ETA Ascon Group HSE Manager.

He is also Honorary Secretary to the Emirates Safety Group which is

very active NGO within the UAE which meets as a forum to discuss

general matters relating to HS and E.

As Editor Kamarajan has played a significant part in the way this

material is presented to the international candidate, importantly

ensuring readability and clarity which has been greatly appreciated by readers and candidates alike of the years

that this course has been delivered by ETA Consultancy in the countries in which they operate.

THE OBSERVATION SHEET

What follows is the observation sheet that has to be completed by candidates undertaking the IGC 3 ‘the

Practical Application’.

The following pages are meant to guide candidates through the completion of this section of the application and

later – the ‘Management Report’.

of 61

DATE OF ASSESSMENT

Assessment of the practical unit (IGC3) must normally take place within 14 days of the date of the IGC1 and/or

IGC2 written papers (the ‘date of the examination’).

If a candidate is absent from the written papers because of illness corroborated by a doctor’s note, but

successfully completes the IGC3 unit within the 14 day deadline, the result will stand.

If a candidate is unable to complete the NGC3 unit under similar circumstances, NEBOSH may allow it to be

taken at a later date beyond the normal 14 day deadline – but candidates must inform ETA Consultancy as soon

as possible so that the appropriate notifications can be made..

ETA Consultancy will advise the candidate of the latest date by which the completed report and observation

sheets must be received by them for marking.

Candidates are advised that the completion of study for both IGC1 and IGC2 is recommended in order to

undertake the practical application unit IGC3.

OBSERVATION SHEET

COMPLETION OF OBSERVATION SHEETS

Candidates will be supplied with a sufficient number of observation sheets from ETA Consultancy which may be

photocopied for the purpose. An example observation sheet is given earlier.

The observation sheets must be completed during the inspection and no alterations should be made to it.

Only brief details of each hazard are required including:

1. Where the hazard was located and

2. The nature of the hazard.

For example, ‘housekeeping could be better’ does not give enough information about the particular hazard.

Candidates should avoid the tendency to simply identify the tasks being undertaken, or the equipment that is

being used, instead of providing an indication of how the tasks or items of equipment pose a risk.

Candidates must demonstrate their understanding of how identified hazards have the potential to cause harm, for

example, boxes stored on the floor may cause obstruction of access, egress routes and / or a risk of

musculoskeletal injury if lifted.

The observation sheets should be completed by:

• Identifying, in the left hand column, any hazards, unsafe work practices and examples of good practice

observed during the inspection;

• Providing in the next column, an indication of the urgency of taking action (high, medium or low priority)

which should reflect the level of risks.

• Commenting, in the next column on the adequacy of existing controls and identifying any immediate,

medium term and long term remedial actions needed;

• Stating, in the right hand column a reasonable timescale for the actions identified.

The distinction between timescales and priorities should be expanded – i.e., that a low priority action, in terms of

risk, might still be completed quickly because it can be done easily; conversely the most appropriate solution for a

high priority (high risk) area might only be possible in the longer term (in which case interim measures might be

necessary).

There should be sufficient information on the observation sheets to enable the candidate to complete a

comprehensive report to management on their findings.

Candidates are also advised to make notes on the area inspected, including activities taking place, in order to

complete the introduction to their report.



of 61

Whilst poor spelling and grammar will not be marked or penalised, if the assessor is unable to read or to

understand the notes made by candidates during their inspection then invariably fewer marks will be awarded

than would otherwise have been the case.

What Has to be Submitted for Marking to be Undertaken

The submission to ETA Consultancy for marking must include the following:

1.0 Completed observation sheets covering a number and range of hazards and good practice, identifying

suitable control measures and timescales

2.0 An Introduction and Summary

3.0 Main findings of the completed inspection

4.0 Conclusions which summarise the main issues identified in the candidate’s workplace

5.0 Completed Recommendations table.

6.0 The candidate declaration form

Note

The practical application must be carried out in the candidate’s own workplace.

The workplace should be large enough to provide a sufficient range of hazards in the areas covered to provide

and adequate range for identification.

If the workplace is very large, in order that the practical application is manageable the candidate should limit the

area considered.

Where a candidate does not have access to a workplace, ETA Consultancy (your course provider) should be

consulted and we will help in making arrangements for that candidate to carry out the application at suitable

premises.

Management of the premises being used should be consulted to ensure that the candidate can carry out the

inspection without endangering their own health and safety.

Where confidentiality requires, locations and company names may be omitted from the report, but ETA

Consultancy need to be made aware of this so that they can comply with the appropriate NEBOSH requirements

in this regard.

This information regarding what has to be submitted to ETA Consultancy to allow marking of the practical

application is repeated later in this material

Please be sure you are clear on these requirements.

If no reference to good practice take mark down by one mark, e.g. 3 types of issues but no

reference to good practice – 2 marks to be awarded

1 – Typical issues are listed in table 1 and internal assessors must complete table 1 on allocating marks

2 – Only one example of good practice is required for the mark to be awarded

Candidates are expected to identify different types of hazard such as hazardous substances, fire, electrical,

machinery, ergonomic, housekeeping, noise, vibration, transport, manual handling and health hazards and

should also consider if there are any welfare and environmental problems.

At least five different types of hazard must be included for maximum marks.

Candidates are expected to comment on situations where there is adequate control of hazards and where good

practice is being observed, although candidates should place the emphasis on uncontrolled hazards.

Table 1 that follows indicates 20 typical issues, but candidates are reminded that the list is not an exhaustive one

and they may include relevant issues that they identify during their observation exercise.

Markers will consider all topic areas and will mark them accordingly if relevant.

Think back to your IGC Units 1 and 2 – included in these study units there are many topic areas discussed and

workplaces often contain others.

Be sure to include at least ONE example of good practice.

in terms of timescales

1. Candidates who repeat identical hazards will only be awarded one mark for that hazard

2. Candidates who repeat similar hazards relating to different areas or equipment may only be awarded a

maximum three marks for that particular hazard type. For example the repeated identification of machinery

guarding, missing or damaged would only ever attract three marks maximum.

3. Assessors must complete Table 1 to assist in allocating marks

Candidates are expected to give thought to what is required to immediately control the risk from each identified

hazard AND to identify the need for medium and long term actions to control the risk.

This requires candidates to distinguish between the symptoms and the root causes of hazards. For example, the

immediate action on a spillage may be ‘clean up spillage and inform supervisor’ whereas medium term actions

might include appropriate supervisor training, regular inspections, and investigation of the source of the leak. A

longer term action may be to modify the work process to tackle the root cause.

If existing controls are in place and considered adequate, candidates should consider any measures required to

maintain this level of control.

Candidates should avoid generic phrases being repeatedly used e.g. ‘monitor’ and ‘train staff’.

Candidates should give appropriate clarification by giving examples of appropriate monitoring and the type of

training required.

Candidates should be aware that if unsuitable control measures are suggested full marks cannot be awarded.

Short term measures to improve housekeeping will do little to improve the lack of safety management systems

and procedures evidenced by materials and equipment left lying around.

The proposed control measures must not only remove or control the hazard but must also be realistic in terms of

timescales.

COMPLETION OF REPORT

The practical application may be submitted in either the candidates own handwriting or be word processed.

There is no time limit assigned to the practical application, however, candidates should aim to complete the

process of observation and report writing within two hours (unless reasonable adjustments have been

agreed by NEBOSH).

Candidates should refer to the practical unit marking sheet (included earlier in this guidance document) for the

headings under which marks will be allocated for the report and observation sheets in order to help structure their

report.

Candidates must not use previously prepared or organisation checklists, or any other prompts.

The report should not contain photographs, printed text or any other extraneous material.

The length of the report should be between 500 and 750 words and should not simply duplicate the observation

sheets.

The report should be written in such terms that a manager would be able to take reasonable action based on

facts.

Reports based on unsupported generalities and those that simply reiterate the contents of the observation sheets

will be awarded low marks.

APPENDIX 2 – OBSERVATION EXERCISES

From time to time candidates on the NEBOSH IGC course request some pictorial exercises so that they may

prepare themselves for the IGC 3 – Practical Assessment.

What follows are a range of photographs (some staged – some not) of workplace situations which as candidates

you may find useful to sharpen your skills.

To assist also, there are following pictorials that have a large range of faults identified for each example.

To follow on from the pictorial representation of faults identified there is a table provided that lists the faults, the

same table having two further columns, one for you to enter what remedial action would be required and the

other to identify likely breaches of legislation – and here you are advised to indicate why the legislation is being

breached.
