NISP GOES CHARTER

NISP achieved charter status in March 2007, followed by a successful application for the right to award individual chartered status to members and professional status also to corporate members.

As Nigeria's leading health and safety professional body, the Institute shall, among other things, do the following:

1. conduct examinations and award certificates and diplomas, as well as advise on matters relating to qualifications for the practice of safety management in Nigeria.
2. conduct research into all aspects of safety management.
3. establish and maintain a register of persons entitled to practice as Safety Professionals in Nigeria.
4. have powers to regulate the practice of safety management in Nigeria.

No firms or persons may practice as Safety Professionals in Nigeria unless they have been registered by the Institute.

To sustain the new status, NISP has a team of tried and tested freelance HSE experts who can show and prove that they can make the positive difference. Believe me, this is the time to promote our professionalism and emphasize the good that we can do, no more time for complacency.
