In the US, that is OSHA- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration- part of the US Dept of Labor. OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is a government agency in the US Department of Labor that is charged broadly with regulating occupational health and safety in the workplace and able to issue citations and fines to covered employers who violate regulatory requirements.

NEBOSH (the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) is a Charitable body in the United Kingdom. It is a nongovernmental organization that offers a variety of professional examinations, upon successful completion of which it issues certificates attesting to the recipient's professional qualifications.
