Generic Standards
National Occupational Standards (Standards) provide a clear, up to date description of what an individual needs to be able do in order to perform a job successfully. The Standards have been developed over a number of years by both people who work in the industry and experts from each occupational area through a process of investigation, analysis and consultation with a wide range of people.
How do other people use the Standards?
Stephen Gregory is the Head of Production Safety for the BBC, and can see the huge benefit to using Standards in his work. Read more about how he uses the Health and Safety Standards below.
These standards cross many of the creative industries, and as such appear in other suites of standards. You can access them as stand alone units below.
