SUMMARY:Workboat Code Edition 3 training
DESCRIPTION:IIMS is pleased to announce a day's Workboat Code Edition 3 onl
 ine training on Wednesday 7 May 2025 to be led by Certifying Authority Cha
 ir\, Fraser Noble\, and Committee Member\, Steve Moffatt. The training is 
 open to all regardless of their affiliations.\n\nBackground\nWorkboat Code
  Edition 3 (WB3) came into force on 13th December 2023 and applied immedia
 tely to vessels newly built or first coded after that date. It applies ret
 rospectively to workboats coded under the 1998 Workboat (Brown) Code or MG
 N280. Those existing vessels have either 3 years from 13th December 2023\,
  or until their first 5-Year renewal after that date\, whichever is the la
 ter\, to comply.\nWB3 has brought major changes from previous Codes\, incl
 uding requirements for vessel operators to have a documented Safety Manage
 ment System\, conduct specific Risk Assessments\, undertake regular Safety
  Drills and carry out extensive Crew Training. Certifying Authorities and 
 surveyors should expect to audit Safety Management Systems\, check Risk As
 sessments\, witness Safety Drills or check Drill Records and see Evidence 
 of Training.\nThe MCA has\, for the first time\, issued an SWB2 Record of 
 Compliance and Declarations Form to be used by all Certifying Authorities\
 ; and it is quite different to most Certifying Authorities' current forms.
 \nThe consultation on the proposed new Sport &amp\; Pleasure Code closed r
 ecently and this new code is expected to come into effect later this year.
  It is likely that the new code will impose similar requirements for Safet
 y Management Systems\, Drills\, Risk Assessments and Operator Training.\n\
 nWho should attend?\n\n 	Coding examiners of workboats\n 	Coding examiners
  of sport and pleasure vessels\n 	Vessel owners/operators\n 	General marin
 e surveyors\n\nThe day's training will be split into two different parts.\
 n\nPart 1 will look at and discuss the required changes for the vessel\, i
 ncluding structure\, stability\, gear and equipment. This session is aimed
  specifically at those directly involved with Workboat Code Edition 3.\n\n
 PART 2 will assess in detail the changes for the vessel operating\, survey
 or/coding examiner. It will cover Safety Management Systems\, Risk Assessm
 ents\, Safety Drills and Operator Training. This session will be of intere
