Yes you can

Please can I DM you for further details and how to go about it

Can a third class graduate from the University be registered as a graduate member of NSE

TenthMan:
Professional Qualifications are an added advantage. HSE Qualification is one of such professional qualifications that will do you a lot of good. The Oil and Gas Industry is very risky and HSE STEM is taken seriously in the industry. So, it is an added advantage.

There are steps to follow which have been enumerated in previous pages. There are various levels of qualification and certification based on diverse competencies in the discipline.

You will have to start from the basics and then choose how far/deep and what area you will love to specialize in.

HSE STEM is not limited to engineers. It is just that due to the dealing with physical phenomena, it is added advantage to understand basic or fundamental natural sciences. Being tall is only an advantage in basket ball. It does not mean short people do not play or cannot play. Engineering is simply manipulating the laws of physical sciences to serve a beneficial (or harmful) purpose of man. Hence what they have fundamentally the ability to manipulate physical principles. If you understand basic Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math, then you can go as deep as you want in the profession.



TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MATERIAL FOR INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE, Which is a sub component of HSE STEM. To go this deep you will need knowledge of basic natural sciences.

Interesting

Let's hope they open soon in Nigeria. Anything can still happen.

Let's be hopeful

This questions has been answered before now, kindly go through the previous chapters of the thread.
My enquiries abt NEBOSH IGC cost of training and certification is abt 210K to 250K while ISPON graduates training and certification for GHSE and HSE 3 is abt 110K.

I think i go for NEBOSH which is international recognize. What did you think fam[/quote]

House Good morning to you, please i need IELTS study materials. I will appreciate anyone that can share the link with me.

http://iosrjournals.org/iosr-jestft/papers/vol9-issue8/Version-1/N09819194.pdf

Note a fundamental area of improvement in the paper. I realized that in risk assessment part of the paper (Assessing Associated Risks) they only mentioned risk analyses, without directly mentioning ''Risk Evaluation''. Note that the risk assessment comprises of Risk Analyses and Risk Evaluation. HSE Risk evaluation is a critical component of the HSE Risk Management Process. Assessment tells you how the hazard or risk poses a threat (the pathways), while evaluation allows you to know if such risk is acceptable.Risk evaluation allows you to determine the significance of risks to the facility then to decide whether to accept a specific risk or take action to prevent or minimize it. Therefore, to EVALUATE HSE risks, it is worthwhile ranking them once identified. This can be done by considering the consequence and probability of each risk.

Simply put:
In any inspection/official review workshop/setting

-identify the hazards
-assess these hazards to establish the risk (analyses and evaluation)
-propose mitigation/control measures
- review the level of risk now if it is acceptable, if it is not go back a propose more measures
-implement these measures
-monitor and audit the performance of these measures
-continuously improve

10. (This is for Safety Engineers Like myself. It is a basic/introductory text into Safety or HSE Engineering. It goes beyond ISPON/NEBOSH IGC. Though my own knowledge is above this level.But it is a good start for those who want to do HSE beyond at simple appreciation certificate level. It is a good lecture note from the University of Strathclyde.)

I hope this helps with a lot of persons looking for a good read.

Thank you for all that you do on this platform. I appreciate your candid response and advice

TenthMan:
You will have to define validity for us to understand where you are coming from. You will also have to tell us how far you have come with respect to experience and certification in HSE Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Management to allow us know where you are. You will also need to tell us what you need the certification for, to enable us know where you are heading to. Note that CIEHS is just a State Board in the USA. Its certificate might not even be recognized by other States in the USA. It is mainly for the State of Nevada. So CIEHS is the NEBOSH for Nevada. America believes more in State and Regional bodies than in Federal/National. If you want to practice in a State or Region, they believe their own situation is special/peculiar and you must have to understand their own system before you practice. This is common with many other fields in the USA.

I want to believe you are talking about if CIEHS is recognized in Nigeria, I guess? The truth is, it is not very recognized in Nigeria when compared to ISPON and NEBOSH. That is not to say you cannot put it on your CV. You can include it in your CV and you will benefit from the skills and knowledge you will gather from the training. A lot of employers do not even have the skill and faint idea of how to rate/score a certificate presented by an intending employee/Applicant. So you can include it. However, a big company, with a serious and skilled HSE Unit will naturally ask for your (1) ISPON (2) NEBOSH and then ANY OTHER(S).


My big bosses here and myself have constantly advised in this topic that a particular line/step should be followed. I will state it again. Every young graduate should please note my advice. It is not compulsory you follow it. You can do what works for you.

1. NISP/ISPON: We have constantly advised that ISPON is the nationally recognized HSE Professional Body in Nigeria. It is just like NSE/COREN, NES, ICAN, etc.. Even though we personally do not like the childishness they are displaying with respect to their power tussle within the body. And I have personally continued to call for another body (A HSE Certification Board) which will come up with a better standard exam and certification process. Their members have invaded this thread to bring their bickering here as well. This is why I have ignored their posts filled with sweeping generalizations and childish claims. However it does not change the fact that they are the legally recognized professional body for the HSE Profession in Nigeria. All graduates are STRONGLY advised to attend General HSE and HSE Levels 2 and 3. Graduates are currently advised to visit the ispon.gov.ng site and find out the contact details there. Call them. Discuss with them for better information. I am not a member of the ISPON Exco, etc. The most valid and credible information can be acquired directly from their contact persons on their website.

2. NEBOSH IGC: After ISPON, we have always advised that you go for NEBOSH. There is a statement I make that annoys the ISPON Guys and I will make it again. In my opinion, THE NEBOSH IGC CURRICULUM IS MORE ROBUST THAN ISPON (G,1,2,3). Hence in my opinion I see ISPON as Mock Exam for NEBOSH. It is one of the reasons why I advise graduates to first get ISPON done before attempting NEBOSH. NEBOSH is also internationally recognized. ISPON IS NOT. The recognition is especially so in commonwealth countries. It is recognized in Africa, in the Middle East, Australia and some European Countries. It is also well respected in Nigeria. Very respected. A company Like Total E&P/TEPNG/TUPNI etc. might not even give you a second look if you do not have NEBOSH IGC. However, this exam is expensive to Nigerians, so you will have to do little stuff (work, business, use a skill to get money, etc.) to raise the funds, in a case where you are not very buoyant and have no parents, guardians, etc sponsoring you.

3. Other Specialized Training: After your ISPON and NEBOSH IGC, you can then decide to specialize in an area based on your SKILLS/BIASES or on the INDUSTRY you want to focus on. I usually advise this because the world of HSE STEM is broad. Very broad. After the general knowledge it is good to have a specific skill. The general principles usually apply to all aspects. But the way and manner they are applied varies from situation to situation. Areas to specialize on include Asset Integrity, Process Hazard Analyses, Consequence Modelling, etc. You can also specialize in various industries e.g. Aviation, Nuclear, Oil and Gas/Petroleum/Hydrocarbons (my area), Road/Rail Transportation, Marine, Industrial, etc. You can choose various OSHA training, etc.

4. Training on Certification of Skills in Standards: After your NEBOSH and specialization, you can You should then focus on training on specific standards that GENERALLY Apply to your area of specialization or to the industry you work in. You can then do training that also SPECIFICALLY apply to your area of specialization or the industry you have found yourself. e.g. You can have certified training to show skills and competence in ISO 31000, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 9000, API RP 75, IEC 61508, IEC 6511, etc.

5. Further General and Specialized Training: After ISPON, NEBOSH, Specialized, Standards Certifications, you may then decide to do other further training. TRAINING/LEARNING AND SKILL ACQUISITION NEVER ENDS. NEVER. There are refreshers you have to take. You have to always read on your own. You can also decide to do advanced studies like NEBOHS IDip or any other Diploma (Post Graduate, etc), BSc., MSc., etc. in the STEM of Public and Occupational Health, Safety, Security, Environment, Community Affairs and Quality.

Again, it is worthy to point out that you MUST NOT follow these steps as they have been presented here. It is only advisable to do so. Some people start with 1 (ISPON), then jump to 5 (MSc./Diploma) then go back to 2 (NEBOSH), then hit 3 (Area of Specialization) and 4 (Certification on Standards). So it depends on how it favors and soothes you.

Kindly explain where one can get those specialized training and standards certification

You guys are doing a great job.
I have a six months tourist visa which will expire in September, will it be reviewed since could not travel due to the covid19 pandemic?

Lets be hopeful that it will be reviewed

Tenthman can you kindly share with us where one can do the those specialized training especially the oil and gas

@macxwell, o yes. Hopefully with time they should come together. The fraction issue hasn't made the certification strong and respected

Yinkafash4:
1. To learn more about the Institute of Safety Professionals of Nigeria, visit the official website at www.ispon.gov.ng
2. For ISPON training, especially in Rivers State, visit www.maranaglobal.com. Distance Learning, Virtual Classes and Regular Classes all available at Marana Global.
3. To become a member or update your ISPON membership status, use the electronic membership portal at www.ispon.emms.ng
4. Contact ISPON President for clarifications: 07033358455
5. Contact Marana Global for training and membership support: 08110141960

Just a few observations: It is true that NEBOSH is globally recognized but it is not correct to say that NEBOSH is superior to ISPON as professional body. ISPON is a government body and a REGULATOR just like OSHA while NEBOSH is simply a professional body. NEBOSH has gained much popularity because of the origin- UK and the oil and gas influence.
ISPON is just about six years old under the ISPON Act 2014 and we are already recognized by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. It is obvious that Africa and Nigeria always believe that anything foreign is superior, but here in Nigeria the story is changing because you cannot legally practice in safety unless you are certified by www.ispon.gov.ng, whether you have NEBOSH or not. You cannot also become a registered safety professional simply because you have NEBOSH.
So, it is wise to even get ISPON first before going for other international courses if you want to work in Nigeria. ISPON is cheaper and recognized and you will still do it even if you acquire thousands of others elsewhere.

[quote author=micxwell post=90356158]But for the two factions that we have. The house(ISPON) is divided sir. Pls enlighten us on that as well.
I concur too

@jokerman, thank you for these.

Those interested in the job should apply for it.

Professionals in the house, please say something. The house is cold for too long. Kindly try to post things related to HSE, experience at work, or even tips and advice for people just starting in the field. I look forward to seeing other people's post.

Good evening senior professionals in the house, I want to pursue a career in HSE. My question is after my training with ISPON/Novelle center for HSE 1-3, is it the certificate issued that I will use for job application and tender for interview? I will appreciate any tips from people in the house who started like these and how to go about job applications.
Thank you
Juwon21

Good afternoon professionals in the house, I want seek our advice. After HSE 1,2,3 is it a must one go for other training in first aid and fire safety, or HSE 3 training will do justice to first aid, and fire safety training??

Any Nairalander at the University of New Haven presently, ex-students, or prospective students. I got admit for fall 2020. I want to ask how is the school, student life and standard of living.

1) NOVELLE or ISPON.......... ISPON
2) Does ISPON accept NOVELLE certificate for membership registration......... NO.
Wish you all the best... Stay safe.

Another question is after my training at ISPON, does that make me a member automatically?

[quote author=micxwell post=88405443]1) NOVELLE or ISPON.......... ISPON
