Posted By Linda Crossland-Clarke Hi Folks The current National Occupational Standards for the Health & Safety NVQ’s, are in the process of being reviewed to ensure they are current, and reflect industry requirements in relation to health and safety good practice. ENTO is holding consultation meetings and gathering feedback via questionnaires. I have attended the first round of meetings (so have other providers and institutions including IOSH) and have put our and our candidates forward for suggested changes. Would any one who has undertaken an H&S NVQ over the last 3 years have any comments they would like me to put forward? Or you can get involved yourself by visiting www.ento.co.uk and clicking on “Projects and Consultations” page. If you think there are currently any gaps in any requirements in the NVQ tasks, knowledge, skills or practical experience, make your comments here, to me or direct to ENTO. Threads on this site show that epidemiology, FEMA’s, input – conversion – output models seem to cause interpretation problems for both candidates and assessors, so we can ask for further clarification on the evidence requirements or knowledge levels needed. Regards. Linda. SHE Knows.

Posted By Stupendous Man Oh no!! Not another review! It's small wonder that employers and students alike get so confused when the qualifications, or their content, structure and numbering are constantly changing. Can we not leave alone for at least a little time to get some stability and consistency?
