Commercial diving operations are inherently hazardous. Various hazards, such as tide and current changes, poor visibility and compression and decompression pressure injuries can jeopardise divers’ safety and lead to severe or even fatal injuries.
Accordingly, the risk of diving work activities needs to be effectively managed. Work activities underwater should be conducted in a controlled and safe manner. The diving contractor needs a clear understanding of the task and associated risks. Divers need to be adequately trained and competent to carry out work underwater. The type of equipment used should also be capable of carrying out the task safely, and backup systems should be available to cater for emergencies.
