SETTING PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
The Safety, Environment & Legislation core activity of IMCA - the International Marine Contractors Association - will hold a one-day workshop on Setting Performance Measurements in Aberdeen on 19 June 2001.
The event will begin with a presentation on IMCA's current annual safety statistics exercise, go on to the BP approach (including a comparison of leading and lagging indicators) and then discuss the need for better leading performance indicators.
After the presentations participants will be asked to split into syndicate groups to consider a list of key questions. Feedback from these groups will then be discussed during the post-lunch plenary session. Attendance at the workshop is free for members. Further information on all aspects of the day is available from IMCA's Technical Director, Jane Bugler at IMCA.
The Safety and Legislation Core Committee has changed its name to Safety, Environment & Legislation to reflect IMCA's growing involvement in environmental issues. "This change recognises growing client and public interest in this aspect of offshore E&P activities," explains Tony Read, IMCA's Chief Executive. "It reflects a focus on their environmental and particularly waste management systems, but does not imply that IMCA members' own environmental impacts are either significant or increasing."

IMCA has four technical divisions, covering marine/specialist vessel operations, offshore diving, hydrographic survey and remote systems and ROVs, plus geographic sections for the Asia-Pacific, South America, Europe & Africa, Middle East & India and Central & North America regions. As well as a core focus on safety, the environment, competence and training. IMCA seeks to promote its members' common interests, to resolve industry-wide issues and to provide an authoritative voice for its members.
- IMCA publishes some 200 guidance notes and technical reports. These have been developed over the years and are widely distributed. They are a definition of what IMCA stands for, including widely recognised diving and ROV codes of practice, DP documentation, marine good practice guidance, the Common Marine Inspection Document, safety recommendation, outline training syllabi and the IMCA competence scheme guidance. In addition to the range of printed guidance documents, IMCA also produces safety promotional materials, circulates information notes and safety flashes.
