NEBOSH and IOSH are about occupational health & safety
generally this involves the day to day nuts and bolts of getting
people to work safely, with tools, chemicals, electricity and so
on.
Process safety is an engineering discipline. As your degree title
says "Loss Prevention" this includes preventing harm to people,
plant, environment even business continuity.
Both these disciplines have a role to play in the overall health
& safety performance of plant but they are distinct from each
other.
Your Masters Degree is an NVQ Level 5, NEBSOH Diploma is NVQ
Level 4 and a NEBOSH NGC is NVQ Level 3 so you are ahead of the
game.
I would recommend that you consider joining IOSH as a Graduate
with a view to getting MIOSH over the next few years. If you are
not already a member then join the IChemE as well.
When I said that the Masters degree was an entry level
qualification, I meant that this is what you need to get started
in this profession, but academic study is only one part of the
equation. You also need experience. Process engineering as an
academic exercise is very different from the real world with its
financial and time constraints not to mention contractual issues
between client, main contractor and subcontractors. I would
recommend that you get experience in your specialist area first
and then after a few years look to cross over into general health
& safety management if that is what you would like to do.
As to your last question, I can't answer that, I am an
Occupational Hygienist, not a Process Safety Engineer. However I
see that you are on LinkedIn. There are Process Safety groups
there that you can join. ADEPP is a good one that has some very
good discussions and not just on Process Safety.
