This unit contains no additional syllabus content. However, completion of study for unit IGC1 and ICC1 is recommended in order to undertake the practical application unit ICC2. 

• To carry out, unaided, a safety inspection of a workplace, identifying the more common hazards, deciding whether they are adequately controlled and, where necessary, suggesting appropriate and cost effective control measures. 
  

• To prepare a report that persuasively urges management to take appropriate action, explaining why such action is needed (including reference to possible breaches of legislation) and identifying, with due consideration of reasonable practicability, the control measures that should be implemented.
  

Unit ICC2 is assessed by a practical assessment. The time allowed to complete the assessment is not restricted but candidates should aim to complete the inspection and report in two hours.
