To this end, we have completed the website  HYPERLINK "http://www.odia.org.uk" www.odia.org.uk , developed a new grade of affiliate contractor member for our ODIA network, and have participated in various industry events and forums. This has included the ODIA Coordinators contribution (alongside Jake Molloy) to the Step Change Steering Group on Workforce Engagement; invitation to speak at IMCAs Competence Seminar in Aberdeen on 24 March; attendance at Subsea UKs 2010 exhibition; and a nomination (for our joint work programme) at an industry awards event to be held in June. At the same time, weve been working hard on the wording for the 2 possible schemes, and the systems wed need to operate them. The discussions were lengthy and detailed, but resulted in the RMT approving the possible scheme for Standby. The one for Extensions to Tours is also agreed, apart from the weather exclusion which the union believes is a watering down of the provision. This is a difference of view which will be difficult to resolve, given the signatories view from the beginning that any such compensation would exclude weather. However, the union and the signatory companies have decided to press ahead with a simulated trial run of the possible schemes during April and May, to test out whether the systems work, and also to cost both the levels of payments (which would be made) and the management and administration costs of running the schemes. This project has been led by a Working Group comprising operations and logistics people from 3 of the signatory companies. Briefings of personnel involved in the trial are taking place mid-March, with results expected by the end of June 2010, and we will feed back these to RMT representatives in due course. We know that these schemes were (and are) hugely important for the diving workforce, and we need to do what we said wed do. Our promise to you was to try our level best to deliver the schemes, and we want to show you how hard we are working on this. The companies want to be in a position by November to decide what, if anything, is possible to introduce and to explain the reasons why, if we cant. Deemed competence research on a North Sea transfer scheme? In November, the RMT raised concerns about the way in which the IMCA-based diving competence scheme is being implemented across the 7 companies and that we are not enabling deemed competence fairly. They pointed to IMCAs objective that its industry-wide guidance might facilitate the transfer of competence between companies. IMCA says: The IMCA competence guidelines were developed to provide offshore contractors with a framework to produce their own competence schemes Provided that the contractors' schemes are underpinned by the guidelines, and the assessment criteria used is similar, then proof of competence should be accepted by member companies other than that performing the assessment Member companies will obviously reserve the right to review and reassess the evidence, where appropriate Source : IMCA FAQ section on website The ODIA signatories established a Working Group to conduct research on this, and other competence-related issues. The conclusions are: There is currently no provision in any of the 7 companies to facilitate the transfer of competence. (Indeed, IMCA knows of no inter-company scheme which does) All 7 companies base their individual scheme upon the IMCA Guidance and Competence Tables, and so there is the potential for establishing an ODIA baseline, and an inter-company scheme to support transferability As there is no existing model anywhere in the world to base this on, the signatory companies have to start from scratch, but we believe that there could be huge benefits from investing in this. However, there will also be costs, and it would be a complex piece of work, so The companies want to scope the work to assess scale, the cost / benefit balance, and the resources which would be needed to make it work Accordingly, an expanded Working Group will review and report, by the end of April The key principles of a possible transfer arrangement Scope the further work required to deliver this Assess likely costs and benefits Meantime We await the (hopefully) imminent publication of revised IMCA diving competence tables?! Our companies have volunteered to support each other adopt common baseline standards, and this work will go on Well continue to liaise with IMCA (the ODIA has been asked to address the IMCA Competence Seminar on 24 March, on its research into a possible North Sea transfer model), and, (of course,) We will keep you and the RMT updated on plans and progress, and we will listen to feedback you give us. The ODIA Stakeholder Forum Colleagues may recall our wish to set up a new forum with a wider remit, and (hopefully) a broader membership which reflects the range of stakeholders in the UK sector of the North Sea diving industry contractors, employing companies, agencies, RMT company reps, and other vessel / worksite or other workforce representatives. Information on contractor affiliate membership, and on representation of our principal labour supply companies, hasve been published. Discussions have been taking place between the Coordinator and the main RMT representative on appropriate contractors which work within ODIA jurisdiction, and approaches will be made with a view to a first meeting in June 2010.
