Personnel Initiatives for the Offshore Diving Sector
IMCA Diving Division works to help its members ensure their dive teams are made up of personnel with the skills and competence needed to undertake their roles safely with a range of guidance documents and other initiatives.
The IMCA competence assurance and assessment guidance framework in the offshore diving sector helps contractors to ensure and demonstrate that their personnel are competent for the safety-critical roles they fulfil. Click here for more details on IMCA's competence guidance for the Diving Division.
Ensuring fitness to dive is essential, as even minor illnesses such as a common cold or dental problem can have serious effects on a diver under pressure. IMCA provides its members with information to help them identify suitable doctors for undertaking medical examinations of divers but does not approve individual doctors. Click here for details.
