am a HSE ,manager for a top firm here in the uk,is hse now big in 9ja ?

@nolongtin,, In my opinion, HSE still has a long way to go in Nigeria, nevertheless, as more organisations are seeking to build their reputations as global brands, HSE will be given some more place in the scheme of  things. I am also aware that NISP has been actively involved in lobbying for the passage of an HSE related bill in the house of assembly. Generally speaking, I think all these are pointers to the increasing prominence of HSE in Nigeria.

Nosyke:

Hi  All great work by all of you that have conributed so far, I am a Biochemistry Graduate and would want to go the HSE way, please senior members advise me on which part would be most relevant to my background?
Also, is there any NISP study center in Abuja.
I will appreciate your responses, thanks.

@Nosyke,  to begin with,I think you should take a General HSE course before looking at 'specializing'. I believe NISP should have a centre in Abuja (according to info on the website!) . Check out WWW.NISPNGERIA.ORG.

Please, after HSE levels 2 n 3 with certificates collected. what next? can that give me a job? Do I have to go for NISP membership?
I need something doing with these certificates to fetch me money.

@Chimonie, as with other certificates (qualifications), HSE levels 2 & 3 certificates will not automatically translate into a 'JOB' neither does NISP membership. The idea is generally (for most people), one of positioning themselves to be able to qualify for the job or other opportunities when they do show up.

Haven said that, you will of course have to consider your general circumstance and weigh the pros & cons before deciding that investing your time & resources in going for the NISP membership at this point in your career/life is worthwhile.

@cindy200, to your question of the best place to start & how to go from there, I will reiterate what I've said on this thread i.e, for folks that want to test the HSE waters or generally satisfy their curiousity about the discipline et.c, NISP courses are still one of the best and least expensive I know of. Endeavour to take time to read through this thread from the begining (if you can) & you'll get a better idea of how to get into the HSE line / how the whole thing works. Cheers!

Thank you brainwave.appreciate.

@sohail512,, u're welcome!!! I've got some experience but hey 'no man is an island, I'm also here to learn'
We've been sharing on HSE related issues right from page 1 of this thread, can you be more specific on the information you need?

@ Brainwave, thank you very much for your concern sir. I actually finished with my NYSC two months ago and since then, I have not taken up any job yet. I had B.Tech Agricultural Engineering but I have never had any work experience relating to HSE. My I.T and NYSC service year work experiences were basically on mechanization. However, I have a passion for HSE and this is the reason why I am asking for an opportunity to start a career in HSE.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

@Engraced01, , O.K I understand now. One advice I'll give is that u make use of the networking opportunity NISP study would afford u i.e, make friends with course mates while on d training, get their contacts and keep in touch with them even after the course. Look out for those who seem serious minded or are already working in HSE in the class and keep in touch with them for HSE job opening info. I have a colleague who got his HSE job this way i.e, through a friend he met during the NISP course. And of course, not 4getting the GOD factor in all these, just give it ur best shot, brother. Cheers!

@brainwave
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,

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!

@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.
