IGC3: International Health and Safety Practical Application
Introduction
The aim of this unit is to help to prepare you for
the NEBOSH International Certificate Unit IGC3:
International Health and Safety Practical Application. If
you work systematically and carefully through the course
material, we have every confidence that you will be
successful in passing.
You have been provided with one Tutor-Assessed
Assignment in your Tutor-Assessed Assignment Pack,
which acts as a mock Practical Assessment for IGC3.
We have not provided Suggested Answers for this Tutor-

Findings
Those matters requiring urgent management attention are outlined below.
2.0 Housekeeping
The standard of housekeeping in the store is not satisfactory to control risks. There are numerous fire,
tripping and contact hazards due to the fact that the store is far too small for the range of items stored. The
shortage of storage racking means that many items are stacked on the floor causing tripping hazards and
blocking fire escape routes. The racking that is provided is overloaded and unstable. Serious injury could
result if the racking collapsed.
CONCLUSION
There is clear evidence that little attention has been paid to maintaining good standards of health and safety
performance in this area for some time. Because of the poor standard of provision of engineering facilities,
staff have to work under difficult conditions in order to fulfil their duties.
There are a number of problems and failures which could result in enforcement action. However, vast
improvements in the standard of cleanliness and housekeeping, and the control of fire, chemical and
equipment hazards, could be brought about rapidly through improved supervision and minimal expenditure.
On a long-term basis there is a need to consider future workshop arrangements, including the provision of
more working space together with better storage and welfare arrangements. The following recommendations
should be implemented.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1.0 Fire Hazards
Whilst unsatisfactory working practices can be eliminated at no cost through improved management
control, there is an urgent need to provide a separate gas cylinder storage area. This might entail a high
level of expenditure which has to be approved by the Managing Director. These improvements should be
implemented as soon as possible by the Workshop Manager and Store Supervisor.
2.0 Housekeeping
The store needs to be completely cleared and extra racking provided to permit storage off the floor. This
could be installed at minimal cost (unused racking on the workshop floor can be taken into the store).
This work can be carried out, along with the disposal of unwanted items, at the next shutdown by the
maintenance staff.
