IMIST (International Minimum Industry Safety Training) is an OPITO standard which has been developed to provide a new global standard for Health and Safety training, which ensures that workers have the necessary safety awareness and training to reduce risk and ultimately reduce the number of incidents.

IMIST Electronic is an interactive e-Learning training programme that works by assessing the safety knowledge of an oil and gas worker during a random sequence of assessment questions.

At the end of this assessment, which is completed under time-bound conditions, the programme will automatically and dynamically assemble a unique course for each individual based on their knowledge gaps identified in the pre-assessment. The candidate is then presented with this content and the relevant summative assessment questions. This process is repeated until the candidate has managed to answer all the assessment questions correctly.

A 100% pass mark is required to complete the IMIST programme.
