Posted By Brett Rolls Hi Paul, Regardless of what industry your currenty in the NEBOSH general certificate is a good place to start, and can be found for a reasonable price at certain colleges as a part time 9 month course. Hope this has been of use.

Posted By wemurphy Hi Paul, I have worked in the Leisure Industry for many years, mainly in Swimming Pools and Leisure Centres. I would suggest visiting the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management website (www.isrm.co.uk). They provide courses and seminars on subjects such as management and safety. Hope this is of use.

Posted By Ian Chamberlain I have worked in the Leisure Industry for over 10 years, from Lifeguard through to general manager in large sites in London. I now work as a H&S trainer for St John and would agree with most posts on this in some small way, firstly the ISRM is a great source of information for leisure and recreation, from their own risk assessment package to information notes. Also i would agree that any good H&S course is useful, i train IOSH which are good courses, the NEBOSH Gen. Cert is a good qualification to have, maybe slightly too much for your needs but better to have more information than not enough. St john run some good H&S courses, just go to a reputable training provider and if possible talk to people who have used them before to get feedback on them. regards Ian
