The unit is assessed by a written assignment which consists of between 8000 - 12000 words and is designed to test practical knowledge of Units IA, IB and IC.
The aim of the assignment is for candidates to carry out a review of the arrangements for managing health and safety in a workplace and to produce justified, proportionate recommendations to improve health and safety performance.

required in each section. • Advice to make sure the candidate demonstrates the depth of
their knowledge gained from the qualification. • A chance for the candidate to discuss their ideas and any
problems. • A guide on how to reference and the layout of the
bibliography.
AssessmentThe assessment consists of three written examinations of three hours duration (one for each of the Units IA, IB and IC) and a work-based written assignment (Unit ID/DNI). All units must be completed within five years to achieve the full NEBOSH International Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety.
