Safety Flashes
|
IMCA safety flashes disseminate important information on incidents and potential hazards and the lessons learnt from them that can help prevent incidents occurring elsewhere in the industry.
In addition to circulating the initial reports, information received from members on incidents is crucial in helping to formulate the various committee work programmes.
A number of workshops, briefing notes and guidance documents have followed on directly from issues first raised in these safety flashes.
|
The reporting of incidents to IMCA is a key factor in helping to further improve safety in the industry.
IMCA maintains systems for sharing information on and facilitating learning from incidents:
- Safety flashes
- DP incident analysis
- Lifting incident analysis
- Security incidents
- Un-minuted discussion at committee and regional meetings
