Individual diving units are responsible for ensuring that this inspection is completed and documented. Annual inspections of each diving unit are required by the NOAA Diving Program. The DUSA Checklist is due to be turned in to your Line/Staff Office Diving Officer (LODO/SODO) by January 15th every year. Purpose: To promote safe diving operations at the unit level through a self-inspection process. Instructions: This inspection checklist provides NOAA-wide guidelines for the requirements of diving units and dive lockers to ensure unit operational readiness and safety. When completing this checklist, inspectors must be critical and thorough in identifying deficiencies. In preparation for a successful inspection, all inspectors shall complete the online training presentation "Diving Unit Safety Assessment" posted on the Commerce Learning Center. This course guides inspectors step-by-step through the inspection process in preparation for a DUSA inspection. The course 'certificates of completion' must be kept with the diving unit records and a copy sent to the Unit Diving Supervisor (UDS). Upon completion of the diving unit self-inspection, results must be forwarded to the LODO/SODO and UDS. A copy of the completed checklist must be kept by the UDS and at the unit. After careful review, the LODO/SODO shall forward the completed checklist to the NOAA Diving Safety Officer (NDSO) by January 31st. Discrepancies shall be investigated by the UDS/LODO/SODO/NDSO and corrected by the unit as soon as possible. Contact the UDS or LODO/ SODO/NDSO for any questions about this self-inspection process. There may be a certain number of new units added to the list of dive units each year. If your unit is newly assigned you will be contacted with specific instructions. Areas of Inspection: A.

  • Paper: Role of Hydrostatic Testing in Pipeline Integrity Assessment
    ROLE OF HYDROSTATIC TESTING IN PIPELINE INTEGRITY ASSESSMENT by John F. Kiefner presented at Northeast Pipeline Integrity Workshop Albany, New York June 12, 2001 KIEFNER AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 893 High Street, Suite L P.O. Box 268 Worthington, Ohio 43085 www.kiefner.com 1 ROLE OF HYDROSTATIC TESTING IN PIPELINE INTEGRITY ASSESSMENT by John F. Kiefner INTRODUCTION Hydrostatic testing is universally known and accepted as a means of demonstrating the fitness of a pressurized component for service(1, 2). After a test, a pipeline or pressure vessel can be expected to safely contain its intended operating pressure. The confidence level that a pipeline or pressure vessel is fit for safe service increases as the ratio of test pressure to operating pressure increases. This highly beneficial aspect of hydrostatic testing applies not only to a new component to be placed in service for the first time. A similar benefit accrues to an in-service component if that component is taken out of service after a period of time and subjected to a hydrostatic test. A “revalidation” test of the latter type assures either that no significant time- dependent deterioration of the component has taken place or that any segment that has been significantly degraded will be revealed and eliminated. There are limitations to the use of hydrostatic testing to revalidate integrity. Some are economic, some are technical, and some are both economic and technical in nature. First, taking a segment of a pipeline out of service means loss of service for the period of the test. Some operators may have this option; others may not.

  • Diving Standards (I.E., Code of Federal Regulations, 29.1910 Subpart T)
    STANDARDS FOR THE CONDUCT OF SCIENTIFIC DIVING June 3, 2004 OFFICE OF POLAR PROGRAMS NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 1 FOREWORD The Office of Polar Programs (OPP) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) provides support for underwater diving associated with the research activities it funds in Antarctica. The NSF/OPP’s Standards for the Conduct of Scientific Diving have been developed to ensure that all scientific diving conducted under the aegis of the Office of Polar Programs is conducted in a manner that will maximize protection of scientific divers from accidental injury or illness associated with underwater diving while optimizing the researchers’ ability to conduct research. The OPP Standards have been patterned after the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) Standards for Scientific Diving, a document that has provided a template for scientific diving at most academic and research institutions in the United States over the last fifty years. The approach described in the AAUS Standards for Scientific Diving has been recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as providing an alternate means of protecting divers than their commercial diving standards (i.e., Code of Federal Regulations, 29.1910 Subpart T). There are inherent risks in underwater diving and doing so in polar regions involves additional risks because of the environmental conditions and remoteness. The OPP Standards for the Conduct of Scientific Diving provides a framework within which to manage those risks and allow underwater diving in support of the scientific enterprise in Antarctica to proceed safely. Each scientific diver should acknowledge those risks and commit to conducting their underwater diving activities in accordance with the OPP Standards.

  • A Coral-Safe Diving Reminder Reduces Reef Contacts by Ashton
    PROTECTING GUAM’S CORAL REEFS BY IMPROVING SCUBA DIVER BEHAVIOR: A CORAL-SAFE DIVING REMINDER REDUCES REEF CONTACTS BY ASHTON N. WILLIAMS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOLOGY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE Dr. Laurie Raymundo, Chair Dr. Alexander Kerr, Member Dr. Romina King, Member UNIVERSITY OF GUAM DECEMBER 2019 Abstract Coral reefs are a critical resource for the culture and economy of the American territory of Guam, but the island’s coral reef resources are increasingly imperiled by climate change, particularly bleaching caused by rising seawater temperatures. Severe bleaching events in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017 have caused mass mortality of corals and made evident the critical need to reduce local stressors to protect the future of Guam’s reefs. An estimated 300,000 people scuba dive on Guam’s reefs annually, but the impacts of these divers are unknown. This study examines the impacts of scuba diving activity on highly trafficked coral reefs and tests a low-effort approach to reducing diver impacts by using a coral-safe diving reminder. Comparisons of benthic cover, genus diversity, and health impacts did not reveal any significant differences between pairs of often dived and rarely dived sites, although it is likely that the damage and mortality caused by recent bleaching events may be masking the smaller impacts of scuba divers. A single-sentence coral-safe diving reminder delivered as part of the standard pre-dive briefing was highly effective in reducing both accidental and intentional contacts with reef. Divers who received a coral-safe diving reminder made 72% fewer contacts with the reef, and about 60% fewer contacts with live corals specifically, than divers who did not receive a reminder.
