Reply To: MIST and IMIST- What’s this all about? Do I need it?

James,
MIST only applies to UK sector. IMIST is a further creation to encompass all international sectors.

Cheers for that.

I can’t see the UK MIST being acceptable out-with the UK sector when there is an IMIST in place.
Equally…..
I can’t see someone with just IMIST (and not MIST) being able to work in the UK sector when MIST is the cert required.

You can just see where this is all going…..:roll:

At some time in the future if people are to work in the UK sector and International market they will need three tickets…. BOSIET, MIST and IMIST!

That’s just for starters. What happens when some other countries jump on the band wagon and get a super safe pang of conscience (oops sorry I mean pang of cash generation) and develop their own standard by copy catting IMIST and insisting that all offshore workers have their version of IMIST before allowing them to work offshore? Years back we saw an element of that in Asia with Malaysia insisting the people took their version of the basic offshore survival course before being allowed to work in Malaysian waters. the UK BOSIET alone wasn’t acceptable to them at the time.
