Diving Work

Diving work is high risk construction work needing a SWMS, alongside strict competency, medical, and equipment requirements specific to occupational diving.
Why this is high risk construction work
Underwater work adds drowning, decompression illness, and equipment failure to any construction hazard, and rescue is slow. Only qualified, medically fit divers can do it.
Because it is one of the 18 high risk construction work categories, a SWMS is legally required before the work starts (your state's WHS Regulations, provision 299; s 299 in NSW), not a nice-to-have.
The controls a SWMS should set out
In hierarchy of controls order, highest first:
- ✓ Qualified, medically certified divers only
- ✓ A dive plan covering depth, time, and decompression
- ✓ Standby diver and surface support with communications
- ✓ Maintained, tested breathing equipment
- ✓ Emergency and recompression arrangements
