CONTROLLED COPY IS AVAILABLE ON COMPANY INTRANET. 2 of 126 SECTION 1. GENERAL POLICY 1.1 Scientific Diving Standards 1.1.1 Purpose The purpose of these Scientific Diving Standards is to ensure that all scientific diving under the auspices of AECOM is conducted in a manner that will maximize protection of scientific divers from accidental injury and/or illness, and to set forth standards for training and certification that will allow a working reciprocity between organizational members (OM). Fulfillment of the purposes will be consistent with the furtherance of research and safety. This document have been issued to comply with the Diving at Work Regulations 1997 (DWR 97), issued by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which came into force on 1st April 1998. In order to comply with the law practically all diving activities within AECOM should follow the Scientific and Archaeological Approved Code of Practice (ACoP). Contact your Health and Safety Representative or the AECOM Diving Officer (AECOM DO) or AECOM Regional Diving Safety Advisor (AECOM RDSA) for more information.Non-scientific diving work has not been covered by these Company Dive standards. Non-scientific diving work, such as installing and maintaining moorings underwater construction or engineering and the work of the UXO operations, not covered by the Scientific and Archaeological ACoP, may be carried out by complying with the guidelines set by the Commercial inland/inshore ACoP. Switching between ACoPs is possible providing diving personnel are suitably qualified. This work must be

  • Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification
    Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification The steps to become a Certified Scientific Diver at the University of Washington (UW) are outlined below. 1. Obtain sponsorship for scientific diving by an appropriate University department or unit. Applicants who do not have a departmental sponsor and want to learn to be scientific divers can complete the Scientific Diver Course at UW Friday Harbor Labs. This course meets the requirements for full Scientific Diver certification as outlined below, and includes research projects for students to receive dive training. 2. Read the UW Diving Safety Manual. UW divers must understand and follow the safety, procedural, and medical requirements outlined in the manual and submit a signed copy of the Dive Manual Acknowledgement form. 3. Complete and submit the Diving Registration Form to the UW Diving Safety Officer (DSO). This form must be signed by the department official sponsoring the diver (e.g., principal investigator, department chair) . Submission of this form is a onetime requirement while at the UW. The form is resubmitted if any diver information changes. 4. Complete and submit documentation of recreational SCUBA diver training to UW DSO. Diving applicants must have completed a recreational SCUBA diving training course as a pre-requisite for scientific diving certification at the UW. Recreational SCUBA diving training must be provided by a nationally recognized organization (e.g., PADI, NAUI, SSI, IANTD, TDI). 5. Obtain Diving Medical Clearance from the UW Employee Health Center. Applicants will contact the UW Employee Health Center (EHC) to obtain necessary information for completing a dive physical and for transfer of medical records.

The National Park Service (NPS) manages many areas that require underwater diving operations and utilizes diving as a tool to conduct a wide variety of management functions. These operations are essential to the management and use of recreational, natural, and cultural resources, as well as resource and visitor protection. B. NPS dive operations are conducted for many purposes, including those related to science, public service / safety, and maintenance and infrastructure. It is therefore necessary to provide standards and guidance to park superintendents and program managers, and NPS divers in order to standardize safe diving practices. This document, Diving Management, Reference Manual 4 (RM-4), and the NPS Diving Safety and Operations Manual, Field Manual 4 (FM-4) provides those standards and guidance. Together these documents (RM-4 and FM-4) supply a uniform approach to polices, standards, and procedures to be followed in order to achieve the desired service-wide goal of conducting safe diving operations. i. RM-4 addresses information related to applicable standards, authorities, scope, implementation, operational control, and administrative procedures.
