AB

The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) is the international trade association representing offshore, marine and underwater engineering companies. IMCA promotes improvements in quality, health, safety, environmental and technical standards through the publication of information notes, codes of practice and by other appropriate means. There are two core committees that relate to all members:

Safety, Environment & Legislation Training, Certification & Personnel Competence

The Association is organised through four distinct divisions, each covering a specific area of members’ interests: Diving, Marine, Offshore Survey, Remote Systems & ROV. There are also four regional sections which facilitate work on issues affecting members in their local geographic area – Americas Deepwater, Asia-Pacific, Europe & Africa and Middle East & India. AB Training, Certification & Personnel Competence

IMCA’s TCPC core activity is concerned with all aspects of training, certification and competence affecting members operating world-wide. Its key focus is the Competence Assurance & Assessment framework, detailed in this guidance document, which assists members in developing their own in-house competence schemes to ensure and demonstrate the competence of personnel working in safety-critical positions.

IMCA Guidance on Competence Assurance & Assessment Schemes

Foreword

IMCA’s competence assurance and assessment guidance was launched in 1999 to provide a framework within which IMCA’s contractor members could demonstrate the competence of their personnel to clients and regulators. Although it has necessarily taken some time for IMCA members to implement their in-house schemes based on this framework, I believe that the effort put in to set up these schemes has been worthwhile and will deliver real benefits in improved safety. During the past five years, there has been an increasing global emphasis on the importance of using competent personnel and this is set to continue. This framework, with its focus on workplace assessment, where skills and behaviour are considered, as well as its international perspective, provides a suitable mechanism for the demonstration of competence now demanded internationally in the offshore industry. The framework covers safety-critical positions identified within the four technical divisions of IMCA – Marine, Diving, Offshore Survey and Remote Systems & ROV. Due to the diverse nature of the needs and positions covered by the four different divisions, there have been clear differences in approach in taking implementation forward within member companies. This is reflected in this updated guidance – for example, performance criteria for the identified safety-critical positions have been developed by both the Offshore Survey and Remote Systems & ROV Divisions. The framework, when first launched, identified 42 different safety-critical positions. It has now been extended to include a further 13 positions and may be extended in the future. The objective application of the assessment process by offshore assessors is paramount if in-house schemes are to be truly beneficial. Our clients, insurers and regulators expect us to demonstrate that a robust process is applied within our industry. Failure to self-regulate could result in the imposition of impractical and inappropriate systems. It is recognised by IMCA’s Training, Certification & Personnel Competence (TCPC) Core Committee, which has compiled this guidance, that it is a ‘live’ document that will require modification in the light of experience, technological developments and changes in work activities. The committee has tried to support members in the implementation of their in-house schemes by organising regular workshops where members have been able to meet to discuss common issues, thus helping them to put workable arrangements in place. This support from the TCPC committee will continue.

1 Scope

This guidance document details a framework of competence assurance and assessment for ‘safety-critical’ personnel working for member organisations of the International Marine Contractors Association.

This guidance has been compiled by IMCA’s Training, Certification and Personnel Competence (TCPC) Core Committee using reports and recommendations provided by a series of specialist working groups.

Figure 1 – Arrangement of IMCA committee structure relating to competence assurance and assessment

At present the guidance covers a range of safety-critical positions within the offshore, marine and underwater engineering industry serving the oil and gas sector. In this context the term ‘safety critical’ is taken as describing a job or function where an individual’s judgement, decision or action including a command, instruction or direction can influence the safety of other persons, property or the environment. In the future, this guidance may be expanded to cover a wider range of non-safety-critical competences.

2 Aims and Objectives

IMCA’s Competence Assurance & Assessment guidance has been developed to provide offshore contractors with a framework with which to produce their own competence schemes, thereby giving the offshore industry in general confidence that all personnel appointed to safety-critical positions can carry out their jobs in an effective manner.

A competent workforce is more productive, operating with reduced risks, shorter down times and fewer injuries. At the same time, all those involved know a rigorous assessment procedure is in place against which their skills, experience and knowledge will be measured.

This guidance therefore aims to:

♦

♦

♦

♦

Provide an overview and description of a typical competence assurance and assessment scheme

Specify minimum standards and qualifications, where applicable, and minimum experience required to ensure that personnel are competent to fulfil their safety-critical responsibilities.

Specify a competence assurance framework showing how proficiency can be developed, demonstrated, accepted and maintained.

Provide a reference document detailing the procedures, criteria and recording system to be applied when assessing the competence of personnel engaged in safety-critical positions.

3 Overview

3.1 Background

IMCA’s Competence Assurance & Assessment guidance was launched in January 1999. When launched, it set out an ambitious timetable for implementation, which included the allocation of all existing personnel into the scheme by January 2001 and the setting-up of ongoing assessment arrangements.

3.2 Implementation Guidance

3.2.1 New Personnel

Since January 2001, the process for all new personnel entering the industry has been and is for them to enter at the basic grade for that safety-critical position. Existing personnel are subject to the ongoing assessment arrangements set out in this guidance.

IMCA C 001-005 Rev. 1 July 2003 1

3.2.2 Experienced Personnel

There may be instances where experienced personnel, for some reason, missed being grandparented into a company’s scheme during the grandparenting period (see section 6). Such personnel may be eligible to enter a more senior position than the basic grade, but this would be seen as a temporary, unsubstantiated position, requiring an additional focus for supervision for a suitable period. The length of this period will depend on demonstration of competence in that position. Such personnel would be subject to the ongoing assessment arrangements set out in this guidance.

3.2.3 Existing Personnel

Existing personnel are subject to the ongoing assessment arrangements set out in this guidance.

3.3 Recording Progress

As people receive training, broaden their skill base, gain experience or attain more knowledge their ability to demonstrate their competence will be reviewed and assessed against specified criteria. Progress could be recorded in an IMCA Record of Competence. Each company’s scheme would be expected to improve operational practice throughout the industry while encouraging both upward and lateral career progression.

3.4 Auditing

As part of its scheme each company should have internal auditing arrangements in place to check compliance with these guidelines and ensure that all assessors apply the criteria in a consistent and appropriate manner. The internal auditing arrangements will usually be the same as those required as a minimum by the external auditing programmes involved with, for example, the International Standards Organisation (ISO) 9000 or the International Safety Management Code (ISM). Internal auditing arrangements should be verified by appropriate external auditors.

3.5 Reviewing Competences

The specifications for particular competences are reviewed and updated regularly. and the reference tables included within this Guidance updated accordingly. This updated release of the guidance documentation includes the revision of reference tables carried out in 2002 by the TCPC Core Committee.

4 Competence Assurance

IMCA’s Competence Assurance & Assessment guidance offers a range of criteria including academic and vocational qualifications, demonstrable experience, technical skills, medical certification and appropriate training.

Please see the section 8 for a list of identified safety-critical positions and section 10 for full details of all criteria to be applied in different operational sectors covered by the IMCA divisions: Marine, Diving, Remote Systems & ROV and Offshore Survey.

5 Competence Assessment

5.1 Core Competences

Certain ‘core competences’ are considered essential to all safety-critical personnel working at any level in the oil and gas industry. These include safety issues, behavioural factors including communication, and emergency response. Knowledge and demonstrable skill levels in these competencies will also vary with a person’s seniority and level of operational responsibility.

2 July 2003 IMCA C 001-005 Rev. 1

5.2 Key Competences

For each safety-critical position there may be additional job-specific ‘key competences’ where assessors apply specified criteria to determine whether a person has the required knowledge and can demonstrate their ability to complete the task.

5.3 IMCA Record of Competence

The IMCA Record of Competence covers personal details, qualifications, certificates, training, specialist experience and details of all competence assessments. Where IMCA logbooks already exist, the IMCA Record of Competence pages have been and are being incorporated at the first opportunity:

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

Dynamic Positioning Logbook

Professional Diver’s Logbook

Diving Supervisor’s Logbook

Inspection Diver’s Logbook

Life Support Technician’s Logbook

Diving Technician’s Logbook

ROV Personnel Logbook

Offshore Survey Personnel Logbook

Every competence carries a unique identifier or code (see section 10) which can be used in the IMCA Record of Competence by assessors when they ‘sign off’ the achievement of a specified competence. Specific guidance on completing the IMCA Record of Competence can be found in section 9.

In some cases specific training courses may be recommended or essential for the achievement of certain competences. Likewise, in other cases e.g. diving supervision, there are minimum work experience requirements to be logged before competence can be assessed or recorded.

5.4 Assessment and Review

Assessors need to be satisfied that personnel have demonstrated their competence on the job. Generally such assessments are made with reference to ‘in house’ or industry-developed approved assessment or performance criteria. Section 7 provides additional guidance for assessors.

Assessors may be any supervisor or manager with the necessary knowledge and training to apply the criteria in a fair and consistent manner. As part of their scheme every IMCA company should identify its own assessors and train them where required. They should also put in place an adequate grievance procedure. Guidance on assessor training is available (IMCA C 007).

In most cases competences will be reviewed automatically in the course of standard management evaluations and where job responsibilities, work sites, tasks or roles change.

To maintain client confidence in the scheme all IMCA companies should audit their competence assurance and assessment systems to check the appropriate procedures are in place and work effectively.

Where personnel move employment to another IMCA company, it may be appropriate for competences to be reviewed and reassessed.

6 Grandparenting Arrangements

The IMCA Competence Assurance & Assessment guidance set out proposals for ‘grandparenting’ of existing personnel. However, this ceased on 31 December 2000. Grandparenting was intended to cover the numerous skilled and experienced personnel who were working in the industry at that time. All existing personnel working in safety-critical positions were eligible for grandparenting and, in most cases, people were grandparented into the scheme by being allocated their appropriate safety-critical position, which usually reflected their most recent appointment or activity.

IMCA C 001-005 Rev. 1 July 2003 3

7 Assessors and Internal Verifiers

The guidance proposes that all safety-critical personnel demonstrate that they have the required competences for their specific job function. This is usually done by work place assessors. To carry out assessments successfully both the person being assessed and the assessor need to be fully familiar of the assessment process.

The following points are normally considered to be good practice in conducting assessments:

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

♦

The assessor should provide a list showing both the elements of competence being assessed and the criteria against which they are to be assessed

The person being assessed should be able to demonstrate on a number of separate occasions that he/she can satisfactorily perform the task being assessed.

The person being assessed should be observed, where appropriate, demonstrating the attainment of the competence by the assessor

The assessor should gather and record evidence (e.g. noting date and time observing candidate performing task)

The person being assessed should receive prompt, accurate and constructive feedback on any assessment conducted

Assessors should be competent to carry out assessments of the personnel being assessed. The assessor should be a supervisor or manager with the necessary knowledge and experience to be able to judge competence being assessed, and should also have been provided with suitable training on assessment.

Training for assessors should usually cover the following aspects:

Identifying evidence and criteria against which to judge competence

How to plan assessments using different sources of evidence

Collecting and recording evidence

Making assessment decisions and recording assessment outcome

Providing feedback on assessment

An internal verifier may be used as part of a company’s in-house audit arrangements. In such cases, it is the internal verifier’s responsibility to ensure that the company assessors apply their assessments in a fair and consistent manner.

Further guidance on the training of assessors is available in IMCA C 007 – Guidance on Assessor Training.

9 The IMCA Record of Competence

9.1 Guidance on Completion

The following examples are suggestions of how the record, or its equivalent which exists as the front section of a number of updated IMCA logbooks, can be filled in. The guidance is intended to be suitable for all individual company schemes, however they may be configured, that are based on the scheme guidance document (IMCA C 001-5), but should not be seen as an IMCA requirement, rather as guidance for those members who feel it would be useful.

Two examples are given, dependent on the capability of a company scheme to record the individual satisfactory completion of each competence element within the job function allocated for assessment.

Example 1: For company schemes which embody the capability to record the individual satisfactory completion of each competence element within the job function allocated for assessment.

Taking a Marine Division position as an example:

Job Function: Chief Mate Function: DP Operations

Element Code Competence

M/A02/B01/01 Take charge of the deck and navigational watch

M/A02/B01/02 Take charge of the vessel in DP mode

M/A02/B01/03 Manage initial stages of a DP failure and support Master in emergency situation

M/A02/B01/04 Safety awareness

M/A02/B01/05 Emergency preparedness

M/A02/B01/06 Human factors

Section 4 of the record of competence need not be endorsed until elements 01-06 are all completed and this may be done using one line only.

It should be noted that this is accomplished by utilising the activity code 000 as indicated in section 8.2.

IMCA C 001-005 Rev. 1 July 2003 7

Example 2: For company schemes which do not embody the capability to record the individual satisfactory completion of each competence element within the assessed job function.

For the same position as for Example 1, Section 4 of the Record of Competence could initially be populated with the competence codes 01-06 prior to any assessments being undertaken. This could be done by virtually anyone with a knowledge of the scheme, although it would be best allocated to the assessor undertaking the initial assessment.

The example below shows these competence codes for a specific function within a job category all being kept together and the possibility of a border to segregate them from any other group of codes for any other function being assessed for.

When completed it may then look something like the example below which could be further identified as company specific by utilising a company/vessel endorsing stamp over the assessor’s signature.
