The ISM Course
is a 4-day course that introduces participants to maritime safety management
in compliance with the International Safety Management Code. The course is
for all maritime personnel who are responsible for ensuring the effective
implementation of the Code within their organisations. Upon completion of
the course, participants should be able to explain and interpret the requirements
of the ISM Code, audit a safety management system both ashore and at sea,
document and implement a safety management system, motivate people into supporting
a safety management system, and monitor and control a safety management system
to ensure its continuous improvement.
If desired, the 4-day course can be split into two independent 2-day courses:
the Introductory ISM Course and the Advanced ISM Course.
INTRODUCTORY
ISM COURSE
The 2-day Introductory
ISM Course introduces participants to the ISM Code and provides them with
some basic tools to explain, interpret, and audit a safety management system.
This introductory segment is for people whose objective is merely to gain
a general overview of the ISM Code requirements.
ADVANCED
ISM COURSE
The
2-day Advanced ISM Course shows participants how to develop, document, implement,
and monitor and control a safety management system. It is assumed that all
participants in this advanced course are thoroughly familiar with the elements
and requirements of the ISM Code and what is involved during a safety management
system audit.
