Competence

The need for personnel to be able to demonstrate competence is becoming a necessary pre-requisite for all areas of the global offshore sector, with Oil and Gas Operators, EPC Contractors and Service Companies being at the forefront.

With Quality Assurance Systems and Regulations often requiring this now, in the future it will potentially become impossible to work offshore without the ability to demonstrate competence through the means of, for example, holding a record of competence/logbook in the same way that medicals, offshore safety and survival certificates and records are kept.

This is why HPR has prepared itself for this inevitability by joining the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) and also being a member of the Offshore Survey Division and the ROV Division. IMCA’s International Competence Framework provides a means by which HPR and the marine contracting industry can demonstrate the competence of its personnel in the safety-critical roles and other key positions they fulfil.
