Igc 3 Practical Inputs
NEBOSH IGC 3 – Guidelines & Sample report_V.2.0
The aim of the ‘practical assessment’ is to examine a candidate’s ability to complete a health and safety assessment of a workplace. A candidate need to observe and submit a report to the management based on the observed hazards
Part – I – Observations
Range and outline of hazards and consequences (15 Marks) – Candidate should identify 20 different types of hazards from each one such as Electricity, Ergonomics,
Falling objects, Fire, First Aid, Good Practice, Hazardous Substances, Housekeeping,
Information, Machinery, Manual Handling, Noise, Obstructions/Trailing Cables, Personal
Protective Equipment, Signage, Vehicles/Routes, Vibration, Welfare/Hygiene, Work at height, Work Environment and any other appropriate observation without repetition of the above.
Hazards should be explained with potential to cause harm for e.g. Boxes stored on the floor may cause obstruction of access, egress routes and or a risk of musculoskeletal injury if lifted. Identification of Suitable control measures and time scale (15 Marks)
Immediate action – Clean up the spillage and inform the supervisor
Longer term action – Supervisor training, Regular Inspection and Investigation of the source of the leak, modify the work process to tackle the root cause.
Time Scale
Candidates are expected to provide timescale for immediate action (symptoms) to control the risk from each hazard and to identify the long term actions (root cause) timescale as well.
E.g. Good standard of housekeeping & cleaning of spillages could be immediate
& Supervisor training to be completed within three months.
Part – II – Report to the management:
Introduction and Executive Summary:
Introduction providing an overview of the chosen area (5 Marks)
Candidates should begin with name of the company, size, location, date, time and the details of inspection carried out (using observation, questionnaires, interview etc). A clear and
