National Safety Aptitude Test (NSAT) – Perspective

  • The appointment of safety officers remains a legal mandate in certain Indian factories and construction sites. Recognizing the crucial role of safety, many organizations proactively appoint safety officers or safety engineers, irrespective of legal requirements. To meet the demand for competent safety professionals, the National Safety Council (NSC) initiated the National Safety Aptitude Test (NSAT) in 2022. The exam aims to assist industries in screening prospective safety officers, engineers, and professionals.
