Approved Code of Practice for Tuna Farm Diving 1 APPROVED CODE OF PRACTICE FOR TUNA FARM DIVING OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE ACT, 1986 Notice of Approval of a Code of Practice Notice is hereby given that pursuant to subsection 63(1) of the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act, 1986, the following Code of Practice for Tuna Farm Diving, is an approved code of practice. This code of practice shall have effect from 1 January 1997 excluding clause 2.5 which shall have effect from 1 January 1999. 2 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT CODE OF PRACTICE FOR TUNA FARM DIVING NB: Based on Australian Standard 2299-1992: Occupational Diving and reproduced with the kind permission of Standards Australia. 1996 3 FOREWORD This is an approved code of practice. The term approved code of practice has a particular meaning under the South Australian Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act, 1986. An approved code of practice provides minimum standards of health and safety and is designed to be used in addition to the Act and regulations. In proceedings for an offence against the Act where it is proved that a person failed to comply with a provision of a relevant approved code of practice, the person shall be taken to have failed to exercise the required standard of care, in the absence of proof to the contrary (Section 63a of the Act). Thus, a code of practice provides practical guidance on how a particular standard of health and safety can be achieved. It describes the preferred methods or courses of action for achieving this standard of health and safety. However, an approved code of practice allows the flexibility to show that an equivalent or better standard of health and safety is achieved by alternative action. An approved code of practice is therefore different from a regulation where the responsible person must meet the specific requirement of the regulation. In summary, an approved code of practice: Χ provides practical guidance; Χ should be followed unless there is another solution which achieves the same or a better standard of health and safety; and Χ can be used to support prosecution. Codes of practice are approved by the Minister of Occupational Health and Safety, following a recommendation from the Minister for Industrial Affair=s Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Advisory Committee. This approved Code of practice also includes some references to obligations imposed by an act of Parliament or regulation. These obligations are preceded by the word Αshall≅ Failure to observe these obligations is an offence against the Act or regulation. Preferred methods or courses of action are preceded by the word Αshould≅. This Approved Code of Practice is based almost entirely on Australian Standard 2299-1992 Occupational Diving (AS2299). The Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Work in Compressed Air. This committee comprised of 22 people representing employers, employees and government with expertise in diving and/or diving related issues. Special thanks is given to Standards Australia for their kind permission to reproduce AS2299 with minor modifications as an Approved Code of Practice.

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.

  • 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.
