The authors determined ICOPER should undergo a comment and review cycle every four years as a response to changing work practices, technology and terminology. Riggers and other stakeholders are encouraged to submit comments so their thoughts and suggestions for improvement can be considered in the review process. This is your opportunity to support an important industry code of practice.
