C-MIST Information

C-MIST’s origins go back to 1855. The Centre for Maritime & Industrial Safety Technology Limited (C-MIST) is a long established organisation with a background that stretches back to 1855 as a Government institution. In promoting health and safety, the former Leith Nautical College (LNC) had to develop appropriate solutions for the hazards faced by seafarers operating across the oceans and far from third party help. In the following century, a Hazardous Cargo Handling Unit was set up to support the shipping industry as it became more complex and carried increasingly dangerous and volatile cargoes. After the closure of LNC in 1987, C-MIST was developed into 7 specialist divisions providing a range of specialised services to industrial, commercial and public sector clients worldwide. The availability of in-house expertise and knowledge of the latest technology operations, codes of practice, and regulations, combined with our specialist experience, allow our clients to benefit from cost effective and practical solutions tailored to their needs. CDM Construction Division C-MIST is a leading provider of health and safety services throughout the UK and worldwide. The Construction & CDM division offers a wide range of health and safety services supplemented by ready access to input from the other specialist divisions of C-MIST. With the benefit of our professional and experienced consultants, the Division can provide its clients with effective and practical solutions, advice and support.
