First I'll like to appreciate everyone for their meaningful contribution to this thread. God bless you all mightily. I took OmaniPadmeHum's advice to stick to ISPON certifications at the start as a newbie. I took a stroll to the Oyo State ISPON secretariat yesterday, I met with the receptionist and the state chair-woman. I found out the following;

#As a graduate (B.Sc/ HND), one will start with General HSE (Cost N45,000 + Form N 2,000 = N47,000) which will last for 5days (9am -5pm daily). Exam will follow on the fifth day. ND holders maybe asked to start with HSE 1, 2 (Can't say cos I didn't bother to ask).

#After General HSE, one can follow it up with HSE 3 (Cost N25,000 + Form N 2,000 = N27,000) which will last for 4days (9am -5pm daily). Exam will follow on the fourth day. (The form for General HSE is different from the form for HSE 3, as the certificates are different).


FOR THOSE ON THIS THREAD WHO WANTS TO KNOW IF TAKING THE BASIC HSE CERTIFICATIONS FROM OTHER TRAINING CENTERS IS OKAY/RECOGNIZED
According to the receptionist, she said it has become compulsory for those employed in HSE oriented fields to register with ISPON no matter how far they've gone with certifications. To become a registered member, they require you to have their General HSE and HSE 3 certificates. All this Basic HSE 1, 2,3 being advertised all over the place won't do one any good because they won't accept it if one is to become a member of the institute. UK HSE offered by novelle centre is good cos of it's affiliation to BISO but what's the use if ISPON will still tell me to apply for their own basic HSE courses if i'm to become a member? We all know the answer. The lady showed me a form of a guy who just applied for membership, she said the ONLY reason they accepted he's application was because of the NEBOSH certificate he attached to it, but not the HSE 1, 2, 3 he did somewhere else. That may not be the case for other states though i.e. they may not accept a NEBOSH certificate as they did for the guy.

With General HSE and HSE 3 one can become a member, get a job with God's favour and grace; then one can continue to climb the ladder just as many has advised on this thread.

For the registration to become a member, it costs N40,000 as at yesterday (that's the price in OYO SATE don't know of other states).

Other information are available in the attached pictures.
God bless you all.

Nice share. This information will be beneficial to a lot of people that are interested in the HSE Profession and also in being an ISPON member.

Please when is the next HSE training at NISP Lagos? Would really appreciate a response. Thanks

Anyone with other materials apart from Nebosh can share or even documents that concern safety can share with the house.. We will all need those stuffs at some point..thanks

Please send every materials you have to kingsley.ahanonu1@gmail.com. Thanks

Nice thread.

I just decided to pursue a career in HSE, a graduate of Microbiology, finished my service last year. I recently registered for HSE under one of these numerous training centers, but from the info I have read here, seems I am on the wrong path. I will definitely make amends.

Presently working as a Solar energy trainer and installer (I learnt it during my NYSC and it is paying my bills presently) have exposed me to various degrees of risks which also applies to every sector of labor and hence the importance of HSE.

In a bid to improve my knowledge on HSE, I am also taking a free online course on Alison.com. After one of my classes (TOPIC-WORK STATION ERGONOMICS) questions popped up in my head of which I will ask experienced HSE professionals in the house.

The questions goes thus:
*Do they practice health and safety in Nigerian schools especially secondary and primary schools?
*Are there opportunities for HSE professionals in the education (lecturing excluded) sector in Nigeria

Please your answers and contributions are paramount to me, as those questions have given birth to ideas that can carve out opportunities for me and improve me.

When I get contributions I will share the idea, because I will be needing your guidance in the course of it.

Thanks for creating this thread which is up to 9 years old.

I am HSE POSITIVE.

The HSE professional is still developing in Nigeria. We may not have HSE integrated into the educational system fully as at present, but as the profession is broadening out from the industrial sector to other sectors, we are getting to a point where HSE will be practiced fully in every sector.

Some educational institutions have started employing HSE Personnel, am sure it will get better with time.

What we need is to continue creating the awareness.

Our collective ideas, creativity, passion and ingenuity is what the HSE profession needs.

Let us play a part.

1. Please go through their web page and get well acquainted.

http://www.isponnigeria.org/index.php/about-us/ispon-spread


Read through and get to know about the organisation. Get to understand how they function etc.

2. The link below will take you to the Lagos State Branch Training Calendar for 2016. I still don't understand why it is for 2016/when we are in the middle of 2017. It shows the challenges the organisation is currently experiencing. Some states still have 2015 calendar boldly on the site.

Just use this link to GET A GENERAL IDEA OF THEIR PROGRAM. Then call the State Chairperson/Secretary for further info.

One thing I find with friends who studied Economics and delved into the HSE Profession is that they seem to have a love for Industrial Safety/Industrial Safety Engineering.
I do not know why, perhaps they understand "Factors of Production" better. Hahaha

But then, they like this area.

Your prospects are good, if you think they are. It is a professional certification so you will always need it and use it in your professional and personal life. In my opinion, all humans should go through basic First Aid Training etc. So that we will stop taking selfies when accidents happen. Overseas, by law, certain professions MUST take Basic First Aid Course. MUST.

Anyway, let me get back to you. Now, like we have advised people here. Please start with NISP/ISPON. Novelle and stuff are good. But start with NISP. You can use Novelle for refreshers etc. Do NISP, get registered with ISPON. Then follow more specific courses in the HSE Domain. The good thing is that the general HSE programs by ISPON etc will allow you appraise the profession and pick an area of focus. Generic knowledge is good. HSE Appreciation courses are good, but then specific skills and focus are also good in areas under the following domains.

1. Occupational Health/Industrial Hygiene
2. Safety
3. Security (Physical and Virtual)
4. Environment
5. Quality

Note that in many companies , Quality could be part of the discipline while in many, it is different and
stands alone. There is a strong interrelationship between Q, H, S, S, E.

So, please the prospects are there. For any country that is growing and has potential. We all ran to Dubai amd the middle east as they grew their country and were constructing and producing stuff here and there. Nigeria has not even scratched its potential for industrialization. So many areas we havent even touched.

Start with NISP and get registered with the body now. It is easy to do so now, but as the discipline gets stronger it might be more difficult. Left to me, I would want to charter the Profession with a very stringent professional training program and exam. One as stringent as NEBOSH IDP.

Good luck.
