NEBOSH IGC Solved Papers: Real Questions and Model Answers from My eBook
Preparing for the NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re unsure about the type of questions asked or how your answers will be marked. But what if you had access to real exam-style questions and model answers from someone who’s been through it?
In this post, I’ll show you how the solved papers inside my NEBOSH IGC Complete Guide eBook can be your shortcut to confidence, clarity, and exam success.
Why Solved Papers Are So Important
Most NEBOSH learners struggle not because they lack knowledge, but because they:
- Don’t know how to structure their answers
- Have never seen a real NEBOSH open book question
- Write too much or too little
- Miss marks due to lack of justification
That’s why I included fully solved IG1 open book exam questions and IG2 practical risk assessments in my eBook. These aren’t generic notes—they are exam-ready model responses that demonstrate exactly what NEBOSH expects.
What Solved Papers Are Included in the Book?
Inside the NEBOSH IGC Complete Guide, you will find:

Example of a Solved IG1 Question (From the Book)
Scenario-Based Question:
“You are the newly appointed Health and Safety Officer at a manufacturing company. A recent incident involved a worker being injured due to poor housekeeping. Describe how you would carry out an investigation into this incident.”
Model Answer (from my eBook):
Planning the Investigation:
I would first secure the scene and ensure that no further injuries occur. I would notify relevant stakeholders and gather a preliminary understanding of the incident timeline.
Collecting Evidence:
I would interview the injured employee and any witnesses. I would take photographs of the area, examine CCTV footage (if available), and review existing housekeeping procedures and incident reports.
Root Cause Analysis:
Using techniques like the “5 Whys” or Fishbone Diagram, I would identify contributing factors such as poor supervision, lack of cleaning schedule, or absence of training.
Reporting and Recommendations:
I would prepare a report with findings, conclusions, and recommended controls—such as daily housekeeping checks, new SOPs, and employee training.
Follow-up:
I would assign responsibility for actions, set deadlines, and monitor progress.
This model answer is structured, relevant, and aligned with NEBOSH expectations.
