The National Safety Aptitude Test (NSAT) is an online examination conducted by National Safety Council (NSC) of India to assess candidates’ comprehensive understanding of safety science, safety laws, risk management, safety engineering/management, leadership abilities, and general aptitude. The NSAT score, valid for two years, reflects the candidate’s performance in the occupational safety, health & environment field.

NSAT facilitates organizations in the selection and recruitment process of safety officers. Employers may consider NSAT scores when shortlisting candidates for safety officer/engineer positions. Prospective safety professionals can showcase their competence by having a valid NSAT score.

NSAT also enables organizations to evaluate the occupational health and safety (OHS) competence of their current employees and measure the efficacy of the initiatives implemented in the OHS management system.

NSC does not guarantee employment opportunities for qualified candidates. NSAT is a voluntary initiative and is not intended to substitute regulatory qualification requirements for safety officers under any law.
