Background: The Diving Unit Safety Assessment (DUSA) checklist was developed so that each diving unit could conduct an annual self-inspection. 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 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.
