Larger jobs I think it would work a treat, the smaller ones look at you like an alien if you say you have any certificates to do with cleaning or safety

if I was approached by someone that said they had a COSHH then I would be worried, & as for NEBOSH :o, it kind of sounds like a baseball bat may be involvced. ;D

NEBOSH you can do in 3 weeks or ove rcours eof year. Goes into more depth and pretty good qualification to have if working in that field.
