@brainwave, i'm glad how u've kept this thread going since 2008 years, and it's really educating. thanks to evry1 dat has made contributions. i'm hoping to start an HSE course early next yr.

@kay-one, Much gracias Tnx 4 ur comments. Its just our own way (I and all other contributors) of volunteering HSE related info to those that find it useful on nairaland. Best wishes in ur journey into HSE next year! Cheers!

This forum is quite educating. I did Hse level 2 wit jpts(dnt knw if any 1 know of dem). I wanted 2 proceed to level 3 bt am skeptic abt them. If any1 has idea abt their recogntion or a beta facilitator pls share wit me. One love!

@boloase, for people to be able 2advice you, you may need2 provide more info about the organisation e.g, their full name, accreditaion/affiliation (if they have any), the source of their facilitators et.c. Where are u based? If u're Lagos-based, have u considered NISP?

yeah buddy, i am NEBOSH certified mechanical engineer working as HSE Engineer in the field of Oil and gas, i just meant to say that we should also share job  openings in the HSE field because many position are filled with in the companies with reference or contacts , we being a professional like myself who are working in HSE environment should share the job openings so that the persons who are looking for job or who are new to HSE may drop their resumes accordingly , what you say bro, 

@sohail512, Great idea! @ALL,, please those of us already working in the field (HSE) are encouraged to share any HSE-related job openings here. U never can tell whose life u can help transform by doing just that. Thanks in advance!

Hey fellow Professionals, I would like you to heed from some industry information: FOCUS ON NEBOSH as this is a requirement for suitable position in Safety Management such as Safety Engineer / Auditor or similar positions in Petrochemical Construction & Processing, Oil & Gas (Refinery, Gas Plants, Storage tanks, Pipe Line) at Offshore as well as Onshore facilities. You can progress to obtaining the ISO's later 18001:2007 (Safety Mgt Systems) and 14001 (Environ).

I work for Deep Blue Energy as QHSE auditor and just thought I'd share this with you! Best of Luck with your endevours!

Kudos to all our highly esteemed contributors. I really enjoy this forum, its like we are one family. Please, we would love if our professionals can discuss with us how they started with HSE, what is operational (what HSE is all about), what to expect, the interesting and otherwise parts of HSE, the career prospects, how to move up along the HSE ladder and lots more, so that we the new entrants and other interested people can learn from.

Candid contributions are welcomed.

@upengineer,, I've heard of CIEH and seen an advert about their courses on Nigerian T.V but sincerely, I don't know much about them as far as 'recognition' or 'accreditation' in Nigeria is concerned.

@Engraced01, Thankx & God bless you too. In retrospect, I'd say divine providence played a majour role in my venture into HSE although, I had a somewhat relevant background, talking about a first degree in the environmental sciences, the entry-level opportunity I got was definately, GOD-given, time would fail me to go into details right now. I followed up with 'hands-on' practical training on-the-job  coupled with company-sponsored / personally sponsored HSE training (courses), well the story is still unfolding but its indeed an interesting field to work in though it could sometimes be quite stressful as one often works unconventional/unsocial hours but hey, as they say,  'no pain', 'no gain', sorry this is the much I have time to squeez in 4now. Cheers!

@Wesley_nic, , Welcome to the forum, you have asked a whole lot of questions, i'd suggest you patiently take the time to go through this thread again from page 1 (dating back to 2008) if you've not already done so perhaps, you might get some answers to your questions there in. Afterwards, you may still ask further questions on any specific grey areas, what do you think?

@ALL please, feel free to answer any of NICOLAS' questions. Cheers!

I am an HSE Professional.If you wish to write NEBOSH REGISTER WITH ATM AND WRITE YOUR EXAM IN AT ANY BRITISH COUNCIL OFFICE IN NIGERIA FOR AS LEES AS 140K.

Hi all, I have a friend who is an IT Officer but wish to move into oil and gas, what programme will u recommend he undertake to give him an edge, thx

@afrobaby, can you be a little more specific on the area of interest of your friend in the O & G sector. You know, the Oil & Gas industry is quite broad in spetcrum. Does your friend want to remain in IT or he's willing to explore other discilplines in Oil & Gas?

He still wants to remain in IT but work in O&G

afrobaby:

He still wants to remain in IT but work in O&G

@afrobaby, ok. Well, I know that most reputable O & G firms have IT units / departments. But I am not aware of any particuular O & G related course that is specifically advantageous for IT professionals looking for job openings in the industry (O & G).

@All, anyone with any useful info / advice for afrobaby's friend?

Hello guys

I want to take the NEBOSH certificate exam but i saw someone quote the price he did his @ 300k or thereabout on this thread and men fear catch me.
my questions are,
can i study on my own if i have the relevant materials and then go and do the exams?
how much will it cost if i do study on my own?
where and how can i register for the NEBOSH exam?

NB: for those that are about to take the exam i have NEBOSH IGC past questions and answers from june 1998 to 2005
Also i have the soft copy of the official NEBOSH text book; INTRODUCTION TO HEALTH AND SFETY AT WORK by Phil Hughes and Ed Ferrett third edition. with other helpful materials.
Anyone interested should send me a mail olakunleapara@gmail.com or drop their e-mail addy here to get copies of the materials for free

@Superbrain, you're welcome! Relevant
areas at the Masters level include
Occupational Health / Environment Control /
Environmental Management locally (in
Nigeria). Internationally, there are more HSE
specific post-grad courses like MSc
Occupational & Environmental Health &
Safety Management et.c. offered by
institutions like University of Portsmouth,
UK even on a part-time basis (distance
learning).
@brainwave, please i would like to know which institutions in nigeria offer relevant masters degree in health safety and the environment

@brayan, I am aware of Nigerian unis like UNILAG et.c offering HSE relavant Masters in Environmental Management while the likes of OAU also offer MSc. in Environmental Control & Management however, I do not know of any accredited/ recognized Nigerian uni (private or public) offering a core / HSE specific PG course. Although, one would expect that the newer specialized universtites e.g those springing up in the niger delta, will grow their capacities to such a level that they'll be able to offer HSE specific courses at the Masters level. Anyone with info on Nigerian universities offering HSE at the PG level should please enlighten us, thanks!
