The vast majority of occupational accidents and incidents of 

ill-health can be avoided by good health and safety management. 

This depends on clearly communicated expert advice 

from appropriately qualified practitioners. With this in mind, 

the British Safety Council offers the International Diploma in 

Occupational Safety and Health, an internationallyrecognised, 

professional qualification for managers and 

practitioners with specific responsibility for health and 

safety in the workplace. 

The content of International Diploma has been carefully 

designed to ensure that it covers all the aspects of occupational 

health and safety practice needed by a manager, 

including risk management, occupational health, promoting 

a positive health and safety culture and preparing a 

business case for investment in health and safety. 

The International Diploma is accredited by the Institution of 

Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) as meeting the 

requirement for graduate membership of the Institution 

(Grad IOSH). Following the successful completion of a period 

of initial professional development, a graduate member may 

apply for chartered status (CMIOSH). Holders of the International 

Diploma may also apply for full membership of the 

International Institute of Risk and Safety Management 

(IIRSM). 

The International Diploma comprises three 

mandatory units, each separately assessed. 

Unit 1 Principles of Health and Safety Management 

Unit 2 Safeguarding People’s Health in the 

Workplace 

Unit 3 Promoting a Positive Health and 

Safety Culture in the Workplace 

Entry Requirements 

It is recommended that candidates entered 

for the International Diploma have: 

either a Certificate-level qualification in occupational 

safety and health; 

or an alternative appropriate qualification in 

a related sector; 

or appropriate experience in a health and 

safety role; 

and a level of literacy and numeracy 

adequate to cope with their assessments. 

This recommendation is intended to ensure 

that all candidates who enter for the International 

Diploma can undertake the assessments 

with a reasonable expectation of 

success. 

Language of Assessment 

The qualification is assessed in English only. 





Unit 1 

Unit 1 is assessed by a 3-hour written examination in two 

parts. Part A comprises one compulsory, stimulus-based 

question worth 40 marks. Candidates are presented with 

stimulus material relating to a fictitious workplace and are 

asked a series of questions centred on risk management. 

Part B comprises eight compulsory short-answer questions 

each worth 10 marks (total 80 marks). In order to pass this 

unit, candidates must achieve the pass mark and score at 

least 40% in each of sections A and B. 

Unit 2 

Unit 2 is assessed by a 2½-hour written examination and a 

5,000-word assignment based on an occupational health 

hazard in the candidate’s workplace. The examination 

comprises ten compulsory short-answer questions each 

worth 10 marks (100 marks). The examination and assignment 

are weighted equally, i.e. they both carry a weighting 

of 50% for the unit. 

Unit 3 

Unit 3 is assessed by a 10,000-word assignment involving 

an assessment of the health and safety culture in the 

candidate’s workplace, preparation of a strategy for improving 

that culture and a business case to support the strategy.
