Hybrid Group (Hybrid HSE), Nigeria’s leading provider of health and safety training and consulting services, is participating in the Lagos State Occupational Safety and Health (LASOSH) 2025 Conference and Exhibition, hosted by the Lagos State Safety Commission at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island.
The conference, themed “Occupational Safety and Health as a Catalyst for Nation Building,” brings together policymakers, industry leaders, and safety professionals to discuss strategies for creating safer and more sustainable workplaces across Nigeria.
At its exhibition booth, Hybrid Group is showcasing a range of internationally recognised training programmes, including NEBOSH and IOSH certifications, alongside tailored safety solutions for industries such as oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing.
One of the firm’s key highlights at LASOSH 2025 is the growing impact of the NEBOSH certification on career progression in Nigeria. Data from Hybrid Group shows that NEBOSH-certified safety officers earn between ₦950,000 and ₦2,375,000 monthly, about 20–50% higher than non-certified peers, particularly in the oil and gas sector.
“We’ve witnessed a transformation in how Nigerian companies value safety expertise,” said Dapo Omolade, Lead Consultant and CEO of Hybrid Group. “With NEBOSH and other internationally recognised certifications, safety professionals are no longer seen as compliance officers but as strategic leaders who protect both lives and business performance.”
Hybrid Group has trained more than 100,000 professionals since its inception, helping many transition into leadership roles. “We consistently see our graduates move from entry-level positions to senior safety management roles within two to three years,” said Gbenga Ajayi, Lead Training Manager at Hybrid Group. “Companies actively headhunt NEBOSH-certified professionals because of the rigorous training and global recognition behind the qualification.”
For many alumni, the certification has been transformative. Olayinka Babajide, NEBOSH and IOSH certified professional and lead brand consultant at Argillic Brands, noted, “NEBOSH has elevated the profession from compliance-focused roles to strategic leadership positions. Companies increasingly view safety professionals as essential partners who protect both people and profits.”
Hybrid Group’s 2025 training calendar includes NEBOSH, IOSH, ISO, and other professional programmes aimed at strengthening workplace safety standards. By combining global best practices with local expertise, the firm continues to support organisations in embedding safety within their operations and culture.
