History
NEBOSH was set up in 1979 as the National Safety Examinations Board, but quickly changed to its present name, with Richard Booth as the first Chair.[4] The first NEBOSH approved examinations were held in 1980, for modules leading to an Ordinary Level and Higher Level Certificate.[4]. Qualifications were later expanded to include a Diploma. In 1992 it was incorporated as a limited company and registered as a charity: in 1999 it moved to its present premises.[4] In 2000 it was accredited by the QCA and in 2001 introduced post-nominals for holders of certain of its qualifications.[4] In 2006 the 100,000 General Cerificate was awarded.[4]
