General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, the most widely recognised

health and safety qualification of its kind in the UK. The key difference between the

two qualifications is in the applicability of legal requirements. Rather than being

guided by a specifically UK framework, the International General Certificate takes a

risk management approach based on best practice and international standards, such

as International Labour Organisation (ILO) codes of practice, with special reference

to the model proposed in the ILO's "Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health

Management Systems" (ILO-OSH 2001). Local laws and cultural factors form part of

the study programme where relevant and appropriate.
