Presentation of the Institut pour la Maîtrise des Risques (French Institute for Risk Management)
The Institut pour la Maîtrise des Risques et la Sûreté de Fonctionnement (IMdR-SdF) was created with the support of 14 major industrial groups1, succeeding the Institut pour la Sûreté de Fonctionnement on July 1, 2002.
In the summer of 2006, the European institute Institut Européen des Cindyniques (IEC) joined the IMdR-SdF to form the IMdR, INSTITUT POUR LA MAÎTRISE DES RISQUES – Sûreté de Fonctionnement-Management-Cindyniques.
As a key player, the Institute’s vocation is to help companies and public bodies to adopt a preventive approach when studying situations where threats and opportunities are intertwined. To do so, the Institute studies various methods and tools to identify, evaluate, quantify, prioritize, control and manage feared events in order to transform possible damage into benefits. This approach is intended to be systemic and global: systemic, because the nature of the dysfunctions or deficits can be technical, documentary, organizational, behavioral, environmental and so on; global, because it must encompass all organizational functions (technical, financial, legal, etc.).
Bringing together the skills of both associations, the IMdR now offers its members a forum for exchange on risk management, from political and strategic visions to concrete, everyday scientific tools.
The qualities of the IMdR are based on:
– the dynamism of the 20 or so of its working groups;
– the elaboration of studies carried out in the form of projects commissioned by industrialists;
– meetings: theme days or breakfasts, the congress on risk management and operational safety (Lambdamu) and, alternately, the congress with a cindynics theme (Les Entretiens du Risque);
– an Orientation, Documentation and Information Center (Centre d’Orientation, de Documentation et d’Informations, CODIT) that welcomes and guides through all of the specialized documentation;
– the quality of its relations with all of its partners.
The advantages of the IMdR include:
–
