This series of Study Books for NEBOSH National Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals consists of three books, Unit 1 health and safety principles and Units 2 and 3 which both cover control of health and safety risks. They are designed to provide a health and safety knowledge base for those studying to the NEBOSH National Diploma July 2020 specification.

This 7th edition of this essential health and safety guide is full colour throughout and meets the current July 2020 specification for the NEBOSH National Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals Unit 3. This publication, together with the other two study books, is an excellent reference source for those active at NVQ Level 5, or undertaking University Diploma programmes and equivalent qualifications. They are also a valuable reference source for qualified health and safety practitioners and those with line management responsibilities for health and safety practitioners. The books, where appropriate, are supported by a variety of photographs and sketches; together with an abridged reference to legislation which learners find particularly useful.

The NEBOSH National Diploma is accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) at Level 10 in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). For users in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, this is broadly comparable to the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) Level 6. Both are comparable to Honours degree level.
