The NEBOSH National General Certificate was the most commonly cited, appearing in 61% of roles. The NEBOSH Diploma featured in 18%, while 12% of adverts mentioned the NEBOSH Construction Certificate.

NEBOSH-supported research paper published: Occupational Health and Safety Concerns in the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining.
In 2024, NEBOSH announced that it was investing in a project to tackle one of the world’s most dangerous occupations: artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). The project – coordinated by the International Occupational Medicine Society Collaborative (IOMSC) and supported by the Society of Occupational Medicine (SOM) – aims to improve the health, safety, livelihoods and wellbeing of people who work and live in these mining communities.
NEBOSH’s support funded the first phase of the project, in which occupational medicine society members conducted research to create a clearer picture of the situation.
A report has now been published and is available to download in using the link below:https://www.nebosh.org.uk/documents/osh-concerns-in-small-scale-mining-sector-english/english-occupational-health-and-safety-concerns-in-the-artisanal-and-small-scale-mining-sector-a-review.pdf
