NEBOSH IGC – IG1 Lecture 3: Health and Safety Management System – Overview

📖 Introduction

Without such a system, safety efforts may be inconsistent, reactive, or dependent on individuals rather than the organization as a whole.

Think of a health and safety management system like the “engine” of workplace safety. It doesn’t just prevent accidents — it helps businesses save money, build trust, and improve efficiency. …
