Posted By Jane Watts Hi Mark, Er, know the main regulations inside out, i.e. HASAW act, management regs, welfare regs need to be know pretty in depth. As well as the 6 pack regs too. You need to know your legal stuff too, the differences between the different courts, criminal and civil cases. That should do for starters:)

Posted By Jane Watts It is hard work, i'm not sure how you're doing yours, I did mine in two weeks with an exam at the end of it. I was horrified to say the least! Thankfully the training provider I did mine through was excellent. It's also surprising how much you take in during the two weeks, it's more than you think!

Posted By DW RMS have a good study guide for the gen cert quite comprehensive and more. Although check with your course provider first as they may supply something similar with the course. I don't have direct contact details but try googling them they should come up. Good luck DW

Posted By Diane Thomason I'd recommend Allan St John Holt's "Principles of Health & safety at Work". Nice and clear.

Posted By Meggie Goodridge Hi Mark The 'bible' that I would go for is the"Introduction to Health & Safety at Work" handbook for the NEBOSH general certificate, by Phil Huges and Ed Ferrett. The other book is the 'Managers Guide to Helath & Safety at Work by Jeremy Stranks.- The second one just read, but don't try to learn it all - Good luck Meggie

Posted By Descarte you can buy a list of all course materials which should be contained within your learning course either by eail or on cd. As I did mine distance learning over a year thorugh a local college (I didn't attend many lessons) I found this a useful source of info. I canont email you course materials however I can divulge the name I guess as a training provider - RRC - do electronnic revision aids and notes on a further note I just got my results. Passed with a credit, not quite a distinction but more than a pass. I dont think the Gen Cert is difficult, if you know the basics of each section that is covered in course materials, can remember a few dates and bits of legislation, you should do fine. GL Descart
