Confused about which NEBOSH IG1 question belongs to which element or topic? This guide shows you how to match exam questions with the correct RRC syllabus tasks to improve your exam preparation and boost your score.

How to find and match the question ig1 with rrc book in exam

To match NEBOSH IG1 exam questions with the RRC book during your studies or after an exam, follow this simple and effective method:

✅ How to Match IG1 Questions with the RRC Book Topics

🔍 Step 1: Read the IG1 Question Carefully

  • Identify the key topic and the command word (e.g., “outline”, “explain”, “recommend”).
  • Highlight keywords (e.g., “incident investigation”, “risk assessment”, “worker consultation”).

📚 Step 2: Refer to the NEBOSH IG1 Syllabus Structure

  • NEBOSH IG1 has 4 main elements:
    1. Why we should manage workplace health and safety
    2. How health and safety management systems work and what they look like
    3. Managing risk – understanding people and processes
    4. Health and safety monitoring and measuring
  • Each element has several learning outcomes (LOs) or topics.

📌 Download the NEBOSH IG1 syllabus to match learning outcomes with topics.

📘 Step 3: Use the RRC Book’s Table of Contents or Index

  • Open your RRC textbook and go to the contents or index.
  • Search for the topic you identified in Step 1.
  • The RRC book follows the NEBOSH syllabus structure, so each topic matches one or more learning outcomes.

🧠 Step 4: Confirm the Match

  • Once you’ve found the matching section in the RRC book, check if it answers the exam question or explains the key points required.
  • If it does, you’ve successfully matched the question to the topic and element.

📝 Example:

IG1 Exam Question:
“Outline reasons why health and safety investigations should be carried out.”

  • Keyword: “investigations”
  • Syllabus Element: Element 4 – Health and safety monitoring and measuring
  • RRC Book Section: Chapter on “Incident Investigation” (usually toward the end of the book)

📘 Example:

Let’s say the IG1 question is:

“Outline reasons why an organisation should investigate accidents.”

Topic: Accident investigation

Element: Element 4 – Health and safety monitoring and measuring

RRC Topic Name: “The role and function of incident investigation”

🎯 Extra Tips:

  • Keep a topic tracker sheet where you write:
    • Question
    • Topic
    • Matching RRC page/chapter
    • Element number
  • Practice this with past papers to get faster.
  • Use sticky notes or highlights in your RRC book for quick access.

You can use ChatGPT to help you match NEBOSH IG1 exam questions with the correct RRC book topic or NEBOSH syllabus element — quickly and accurately.

Here’s exactly how to use ChatGPT for matching:

✅ How to Use ChatGPT to Match IG1 Questions with RRC Topics or NEBOSH Elements

🔹 Step 1: Type or Paste the IG1 Exam Question

Ask ChatGPT something like:

“Which NEBOSH IG1 element and RRC topic does this question belong to? ‘Outline the reasons why a risk assessment should be reviewed.'”

ChatGPT will analyze the question, identify the keywords, and match it to:

  • The correct NEBOSH IG1 element
  • The learning outcome
  • And the RRC textbook topic

🔹 Step 2: Ask for Page Numbers or Chapter Titles (If You Have the RRC Book)

If you’re using the RRC textbook, ask:

“Which chapter of the RRC NEBOSH IG1 book covers this topic?”

If you tell ChatGPT what edition you have, it can help even more specifically.

🔹 Step 3: Use It for Multiple Questions at Once

You can paste multiple questions and say:

“Match these NEBOSH IG1 questions to their corresponding elements and RRC topics.”

ChatGPT will return a neat list, e.g.:

QuestionNEBOSH ElementRRC Topic
Outline reasons for reviewing a risk assessmentElement 3Risk Assessment Review
Explain benefits of worker consultationElement 1Moral, Legal & Financial Reasons

🔹 Step 4: Ask for a Summary Table or Tracker

Ask:

“Can you give me a table I can use to track IG1 questions and their matching elements?”

I’ll generate a printable or Excel-compatible format for you.

✅ Sample Prompt for You to Try:

Hi ChatGPT, I’m preparing for the NEBOSH IG1 exam using the RRC textbook. Can you help me identify which element and topic this question belongs to?
"Recommend control measures to reduce slips and trips in the workplace."
Also, tell me which part of the RRC book covers it.
