Description

Part 3 specifies the training activities and competencies required for the training and accreditation of divers who are required to work safely and competently using self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) to depths of 30 m; using surface-supplied underwater breathing apparatus (SSBA) to depths of 50 m; and on sites with surface compression chambers present or within a convenient distance. Such qualification is the minimum required by regulatory authorities who are responsible for the control of off-shore diving, e.g. oil and gas exploration. Requirements for training divers for restricted certification, where the diver's underwater work capabilities are limited, are included.

Scope

This Standard specifies the training activities and competencies required for the training and accreditation of divers who are required to work safely and competently-
(a) using self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) to depths of 30 m (see Notes);
(b) using surface-supplied underwater breathing apparatus (SSBA) to depths of 50 m (see Notes); and
(c) on sites with surface compression chambers present or within convenient distance.

Requirements for full occupational diver certification and for restricted occupational diver certification are included.

NOTES:
1 Training and certification to this Standard is generally the minimum required to undertake diving in off-shore locations such as oil and gas exploration, development and production.
2 Restricted occupational diver certification is for persons whose diving duties do not require training in all of the specialized underwater tasks in Table 2.5 (see Clause 2.8). Divers with restricted certificates may only undertake diving operations which involve limited use of plant, tools and equipment.
3 Attention is drawn to the requirements of AS 2299 and of regulatory authorities which limit the depths and times of diving under these conditions and specify the need for compression chamber facilities. In particular, the requirements of regulatory authorities and AS 2299 generally prohibit the use of SCUBA for dives to depths greater than 30 m (see also Clause 1.3.1).
