Description
Written by an ex-NEBOSH Examiner
Will Taylor CMIOSH
This workbook was developed by Will, an ex-NEBOSH Examiner with extensive experience in marking assessments and writing exam papers.
He has poured that experience directly into these notes. While this is a self-study guide, it gives you the “examiner’s perspective” on exam technique that is usually reserved for his premium course students. You aren’t just learning the syllabus; you are learning exactly what the marker is looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Re-sitting your practical project? Don’t panic. This workbook specifically addresses the “Moral, Legal, and Financial” justifications—the #1 section where students lose marks.
Can I print this Digital Workbook?
Yes! The workbook is a high-resolution PDF. You are free to print a personal copy if you prefer highlighting and annotating on paper.
Can I use this for the International (GIC2) assessment?
The process of risk assessment is identical, but the legal references in this workbook are based on UK law (Health and Safety at Work Act, etc.). If you are doing the GIC2, you need to reference International (ILO) standards. You can however, purchase the International version of this studybook here.
Does this include a completed Risk Assessment to copy?
No, and for good reason. NEBOSH uses strict software to detect plagiarism. If you copy a “model” assessment, you will be disqualified for malpractice. Instead, this workbook provides examples of hazards, controls, and arguments that you can adapt to your own workplace. It teaches you how to write it yourself so you pass safely and legitimately.
Is this guide suitable for the old NG2 assignment?
Yes! This guide is primarily built for the new GNC2 (2026 syllabus), but the risk assessment methodology is 95% identical to the legacy NG2 practical. It is perfectly safe to use for both.
Does this cover the Risk Assessment justification?
Absolutely. The hardest part of the GNC2 is justifying your control measures. This guide breaks down exactly how to write persuasive justifications to satisfy the examiner.
I have been "Referred" (failed) on my previous submission. Will this help?
Yes. Most students get a “Refer” result because they missed specific criteria in the Moral, Legal, and Financial arguments or failed to prioritize risks correctly. This workbook specifically highlights these common pitfalls and shows you exactly what the markers need to see to award a “Pass.”
Is this up to date with the current assessment format?
Yes. This workbook is designed for the current GNC2 Practical Assessment (Risk Assessment) format. It walks you through the 4 stages required by the current syllabus.
Does this cover all the hazard categories?
Yes. The workbook includes guidance on the full range of hazard categories required by NEBOSH, including physical hazards (Noise, Fire, Vibration), mental health, chemical/biological agents, and equipment safety.
Do I need a real workplace to use this?
You will need a real workplace to perform your actual assessment. This workbook acts as your “consultant in a pocket,” guiding you through that workplace inspection and helping you spot hazards you might otherwise miss.
How soon will I receive it?
Instantly. As soon as your payment is processed, you will receive an email with a download link. You can start studying in the next 5 minutes.
