New NEBOSH Ethical Practice Report published
There are no easy routes to a NEBOSH qualification. Learners have to study hard and complete rigorous assessments, demonstrating their knowledge and understanding. That’s why NEBOSH qualifications are valued by professionals and organisations around the world.
Unfortunately, some people try to cheat to gain a NEBOSH qualification. NEBOSH therefore has strict processes and dedicated experts to prevent and detect malpractice.
This new edition of the quarterly Ethical Practice Report (July – September 2025) gave the following overview of recent malpractice cases and the penalties and sanctions given:

The NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety qualification has been reviewed and updated for 2026 !
The content has been reviewed and restructured to reduce duplication, with the addition of new topics including:
• The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025
• The use of drones in the workplace
The biggest change is to the Unit 2 Practical Assessment, which is now marked out of 100 (pass mark 60), replacing the previous met/not-met outcome. This gives learners clearer feedback and a better understanding of how to improve.
There is still time to join our next open / public National General Certificate course running at Energus, which will start on Monday 23 February 2026.
Fire fears, accidents and emu attacks among safety concerns at Cold War bunker.
Volunteers who worked to restore a Cold War nuclear bunker in Edinburgh say they are worried someone will be seriously hurt unless health and safety failings are addressed. They are concerned the public has access to the Barnton Bunker despite an expert highlighting serious fire risks.
They also claimed untrained volunteers were using heavy machinery, that accidents had gone unreported - and that workers have been attacked by distressed emus being kept on site.
New 5-minute NHS health quiz that reveals personalised steps to boost mood and energy released.
After answering all the questions on a range of topics including nutrition, movement, alcohol consumption, smoking and mental health, users will get an overall score out of 10 with tailored advice.
The quick quiz is designed to identify what changes a person can make to their lifestyle to be healthier and signpost NHS resources to support this change.
Research from University College London estimates that 19 million adults in their middle years could boost their mood by making a healthy change. Increasing physical activity can improve mental wellbeing in just four weeks.
Our Team are looking forward to welcoming learners from Home Group, Cumbria Waste Group, px Group, NSG Environmental Ltd and others onto our open / public NEBOSH National General Certificate course at Energus this morning.

At least 28 people have died and 64 others left injured after a construction crane fell onto a moving train in north-eastern Thailand.
The crane derailed the train and crushed some of its carriages, one of which caught fire. The train had been travelling from Bangkok to the north-eastern Ubon Ratchathani province when the accident occured.
The crane was being used to build an overhead railway that is part of a China-backed project to link Bangkok with neighbouring Laos, where a Chinese-built high-speed line is already running to south-western China.
The government has ordered an investigation into the incident, which comes after a series of other fatal accidents blamed on safety lapses.
