NEBOSH Diploma in Environmental Management
The NEBOSH Environmental Diploma extends and enhances the knowledge and competence of the health and safety manager to give a professional, nationally recognised qualification in environmental management.
Many companies are using environmental standards and environmental management systems and need qualified environmental managers to support these initiatives. Many are using environmental management to be a deciding factor for tendering of contracts.
The impact of environmental management, like health and safety management, is far reaching and organisations have to conform to environmental issues from moral, financial and legal demands.
Environmental legislation is criminal and the Environment Agency is a very active enforcement office. The opportunities for careers ending in senior management roles within environmental management are ever growing.
This Diploma will facilitiate individuals charged with environmental management responsibilities to discharge their duties successfully and to meet the demands of developing and operating environmental management systems to the benefit of the organisation.
