Geophysical Contractor Management Self-Assessment (GCMSA)
This Geophysical Contractor Management Self-Assessment (GMCSA) tool promotes a consistent approach for both self-
assessments and external assessments conducted within the Geophysical and site survey industry.
Report 538, Guidance for the use of the Geophysical Contractor Management Self-Assessment (GCMSA) can be downloa
from http://www.iogp.org/pubs/538.zip
IOGP 538 and this tool were developed to align with IOGP 432, Managing HSE in a geophysical contract which is based o
IOGP 210, Guidelines for the development of HSE management systems. With the release of IOGP 510, Operating
management system framework, which replaces IOGP 210, IOGP 432 will be updated to align with 510. IOGP 423, HSE
management guideline for working together in a contract environment is being updated. Once IOGP 423 and IOPG 432 a
