Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – IEHSAS
IEHSAS is one of the top certified bodies on Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment of the ISO 9001:2015 in Pakistan.
We offer training, consultancy, assessments, and HSE expectations both domestically in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad as well as globally with a 15+ years of worldwide excellence.
We have four major types of services:
- Professional Qualifications: NEBOSH, OTHM, OSHA, BCSP, ISO Lead Auditor, etc.
- HSE Training Programs: More than 50+ special safety training programs.
- Consultancy Services: Risk assessments, ISO certifications, development of HSE manuals, safety layouts.
- Inspection Services: Vehicle, tool, equipment and safety harnesses inspections.
- Staff Secondment: Certified HSE employees.
NEBOSH is the UK National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health. Consider it as your ticket to a brighter working future in the safety profession. The NEBOSH certificates are accepted in the companies of the world, particularly in the Middle East and Europe.
The presence of a NEBOSH qualification on your CV demonstrates that the employer believes that you know how to manage safety. These days most international companies do not even interview safety officers without NEBOSH.
NEBOSH IGC course at IEHSAS is between PKR 85, 000 and PKR 120, 000 based on mode of delivery (online or classroom-based course). Call us to be informed of the prices and any current discounts.
The NEBOSH HSW (Health and Safety at Work) in IEHSAS will cost between PKR 45,000 and PKR 65,000. This is our low price NEBOSH qualification.
The course fee of NEBOSH Accident Investigation at the IEHSAS is approximately PKR 55,000 to PKR 75,000. Corporate enrollments are offered based on group discounts.
NEBOSH programs we teach are:
NEBOSH IGC (International General Certificate)– This is the one that all people begin with. Bares the fundamentals of occupational health and safety.
NEBOSH HSA (Health and Safety at Work) – A shorter and cheaper, entry-level course that is suitable with bosses and managers.
NEBOSH Accident Investigation – Particularly deals with investigations of workplace accidents and incidents.
Yes, definitely. We conduct classrooms as well as online classes. The online one provides you with the same certificate and teaching. You will participate directly in the live classes with the instructor, pose questions, and complete the same tasks as students in the classroom. Most of our students even better choose online due to the fact that they do not have to travel to acquire knowledge.
NEBOSH IGC only requires approximately 70 hours of your time in 10-12 days. This will include time with the instructor and your home time of study. There are those who are quicker, those that are slower – again it depends on your time. When you are doing the online course, you are slightly allowed to balance studying with work.
No, once you pass, you’re done. NEBOSH certificate does not have an expiry date. You have won it, you possess it eternally. At that, in case you intend to be on the cutting edge and keep abreast with new safety rules, it would be prudent to take refresher courses after every several years. However, that is your option – the certificate is not invalid.
Fortunately – NEBOSH IGC has no formal degree requirement. All you require is good knowledge of English (reading, writing, comprehending) and understanding of the concepts of safety. The majority of our students have completed high school, although it is not a hard rule. We will determine your level of English during your registration in order to ensure that you are comfortable with the course content.
OTHM is an acronym that is used to refer to Organization of Tourism and Hospitality Management. They are a UK qualification awarding body offering diplomas that are accepted in Europe and further. They have great HSE qualifications, but are more substantial than a basic certificate and quicker than doing a full degree. We offer:
OTHM Level 3 – A good starting point in case you are new to safety.
OTHM Level 6 – Level equivalent to a bachelors degree.
OTHM Level 7 – Master degree level, excellent in management roles.
OTHM Level 7 Environmental Management – Dwelling on environmental sustainability.
The price of OTHM Level 3 Diploma at IEHSAS is PKR 60,000 to PKR 80,000. Installment plans are offered.
Level 6 at IEHSAS costs between PKR 120, 000 and PKR 150,000. This corresponds to the level of bachelor degree.
Approximately PKR 150,000 to PKR 200,000 is the OTHM Level 7 (Master level) at IEHSAS. Corporate discounts on large numbers of enrollments.
The United States occupational safety and health authority is called OSHA. Their training programs are also great, particularly when you are dealing with the companies or contractors of America. We teach:
- OSHA 30 hours Construction- Construction industry workers and supervisors.
- OSHA 30 Hours Manufacturing-industrial – Applicable to manufacturing and industrial plants.
- OSHA 40 hours Manager training – Manager course on HSE advanced.

Management training in OSHA 40 Hours at IEHSAS will cost PKR 65,000 to PKR 85,000. Perfect HSE managers and supervisors.
BCSP refers to the the Board of Certified Safety Professionals in the USA. There are two principal certifications they provide:
ASP (Associate Safety Professional) -Entry-level certification. You must have this and then you can make the attempt of CSP.
CCP (Certified Safety Professional) – The platinum of safety. Requires years of experience to get the job, but is free to enter any door.
We conduct preparation courses such that you can get through these difficult exams. Without the right preparation, the pass rate is not high and thus our training does come in handy.
Preparation course in ASP at IEHSAS is between PKR 95,000 and PKR 120,000. This consists of detailed study aids and practice tests.
The preparation training on CSP costs between PKR 130,000 and 165,000 in IEHSAS. It is our highest level safety certification preparation program.
Consider it to be beginner, intermediate, and advanced:
- Level 1 – You also get to know the simple rigging, equipment recognition, simple safety regulations. And good to assistants and aid men.
- Level 2 – At this point, you are now in the stage of calculating loads, planning of complex lifts, and using other types of rigging gear.
- Level 3 – Advanced stuff. You are managing other riggers, working with specialized equipment, you are arranging large lifting operations.
- Level 1 (Basic): Equipment recognition, basic rigging, simple safety rules. For assistants and helpers. PKR 25,000 – 35,000
- Level 2 (Intermediate): Load calculations, complex lifts, advanced rigging gear. PKR 35,000 – 50,000
- Level 3 (Advanced): Supervising riggers, specialized equipment, large lifting operations. PKR 50,000 – 70,000
Such courses transform you into a licensed educator. You do not only learn to do something; you learn to impart the same to other people. We offer trainer courses for:
- Scaffolding
- Lifting and Rigging
- Defensive Driving
- First Aid
- Earth Moving Equipment
- Powered Access Platforms
Firms are fond of employing instructors since they will be able to train their personnel rather than inviting outsourced trainers on a regular basis.
PKR 65,000 – 85,000. Comprehensive rigging instructor training.
Absolutely. The company needs are different. Perhaps you are in the building sector and require certain courses on your employees. Or you are operating a factory and you require safety training that is comparable to your machinery. We come to your location, analyze what you require and develop training that suits best to the situation. It could be changed in content, timing and all.
We assist firms in being certified on four major ISO standards:
- Occupational health and safety management ISO 45001:2018.
- ISO 9001:2015- Quality management systems.
- The ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental management.
- ISO 22000 – Food safety management
We also do ISO Lead Auditor training in ISO 31000 (Risk Management).
PKR 75,000 – 95,000 (5-day course) including materials and certification exam.
PKR 70,000 – 90,000 (5-day comprehensive training).
PKR 70,000 – 90,000 with international certification.
PKR 70,000 – 90,000 (5-day course).
PKR 70,000 – 90,000 with certification.
PKR 150,000 – 500,000 depending on organization size and standard. Includes gap analysis, documentation, training, and audit support.
The international standard of occupational safety administration is ISO 45001. You do not need to simply obey arbitrary safety rules, but create a whole system. You recognize the risks of hazard, manage the risks, establish safety goals and continue to enhance. The point of ISO 45001 certification is that companies demonstrate their concern about the issue of safety to the clients. It also assists in minimizing accidents that save money and save the workers.
Typically, between 3 and 6 months, in some cases, even longer. It depends on:
- How big your company is
- Whether or not you happen to have some documentation on hand.
- The speed with which your management takes decisions.
- The amount of time your employees will be able to spend on implementation.
Smaller firms that have dedicated management can occasionally be completed within 3 months. Greater firms with headquarters in more than one location may require 6-8 months.
In the case of hiring us to do ISO consultancy, the following happens:
- We go to your site and carry out a gap analysis (what you have and what ISO requires)
- All the documentation – manuals, procedures, work instructions, forms, etc. are written by us.
- We educate your employees on the new system.
- We assist in conducting internal audits.
- We are in your management review meetings.
- The certification body is coordinated with us.
We will be around to assist you in the maintenance after you have been certified.
Yes, we do. Lead Auditor courses provide you with the knowledge of auditing management systems. We offer training for:
- ISO 45001:2018 (Health & Safety)
- ISO 14001:2015 (Environment)
- ISO 9001:2015 (Quality)
- ISO 31000:2018 (Risk Management)
These are 5 day courses where audits in practice are involved. Once done, you can either become an auditor or at least do internal audits better on behalf of your company.
Occupational Safety and Health Risk Assessment identifies workplace hazards, evaluates accident likelihood and severity, and recommends control measures. Risk assessments are not just best practice—they’re often legally required.
Available assessments:
- OSH Risk Assessment: PKR 50,000 – 150,000
- Workplace Ergonomic Assessment: PKR 30,000 – 80,000
- Fire Safety Assessment: PKR 40,000 – 100,000
- NFPA Fire Safety Assessment: PKR 60,000 – 150,000
We handle several types:
- Workplace Ergonomic Assessment – Verifying that workstations are well adjusted to ensure individuals do not experience back pains, eye strains and repetitive stress injuries.
- OSH Risk Assessment – Hazards at the workplace, in general, in all activities.
- Fire Safety Assessment – Perusing fire hazards, fire escape routes, fire equipment.
- NFPA Fire Safety Assessment – identical to fire safety, but with an American NFPA standard (stricter) requirement.
NFPA refers to the National fire protection association of the USA. They issue very elaborate fire safety codes. NFPA test is used to determine whether your building is up to these international standards. We look at:
- Fire detection and alarm system.
- Fire suppression and sprinklers.
- Exit doors and fire escape strategies.
- Electrical safety
- Placing and maintenance of fire extinguishers.
Most of the multinational corporations demand NFPA compliance even in Pakistan.
The HSE manuals are simply the safety bible in your firm. We are writing such manuals afresh upon your operations. They include:
- The health and safety policy in your company.
- Relaxation to Work Systems (procedures prior to the commencement of risky employment)
- Safe Systems of Work (step wise safe ways of carrying out certain tasks)
- Inspection and audit checklists.
- Procedures of emergency response.
A good HSE documentation is one way of demonstrating that you are serious about safety. In addition, these will be requested by clients and government inspectors.
We also send in trained inspectors to inspect your equipment to ensure that it is safe to use out:
- Car Check up – The company cars, vans, trucks are inspected of the brakes, lights and tires among others.
- Hand Tool Examination – Hammers, spanners, chisels – cracks, damage, wear.
- Power Tool Inspection Drills, grinders, saws require electrical inspection and mechanical inspection.
- Safety Harness Inspection – Fall protection equipment has to be checked routinely since lives are in their hands.
We provide you with detailed reports of what was passed and what is to be repaired or replaced.
Working at height is one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities. Proper scaffolding training ensures structures are erected safely, preventing catastrophic failures that can result in serious injuries or death.
Available courses:
- Basic Scaffolding: Erection and dismantling basics. PKR 20,000 – 30,000 (3-5 days)

Fire safety is not really about the fire extinguisher (we do teach that too). The course covers:
- How fires start and spread
- Various types of fire (wood, electrical, oil, etc.)
- The first way is to prevent fires.
- Appropriate use of extinguishers of varying categories.
- Evacuation procedures
- What to do if you’re trapped
- Real-life experience with fire extinguishers.
Basic fire safety should not be known to the safety officers alone but to everyone.
PKR 15,000 – 25,000 including practical extinguisher training.
PKR 30,000 – 45,000. Designed for fire wardens and safety officers.
PKR 50,000 – 70,000. Qualify as a certified fire safety instructor.
The limited area is any area that is enclosed and has limited entry/exit – tanks, silos, manholes, underground vaults. They are very dangerous on account of:
- Air could be poor (lack of oxygen, poisonous gases).
- You can get trapped
- Difficult to save a person in case of a failure.
We are trained to test the atmosphere, put on appropriate PPE, organize rescue gear as well as work in such areas without accidents. You also get to know about entry permits and gas monitoring.
LOTO means Lockout Tagout. It is a process of turning off machines, locking them to make them impossible to start and labeling them to warn others. This will ensure that one does not end up starting a machine even when another individual is using it. It looks simple but annually, there are cases of accidents where people get injured due to failure to lock out properly. We educate the correct processes, kind of locks, authentication processes, all.
PKR 20,000 – 30,000. Essential for maintenance staff and supervisors.
PKR 25,000 – 35,000. Advanced training for LOTO procedure implementers.
