We have recently learned of irregularities coming to light on a project whose scope included a small inshore diving element.
What happened?
On audit, the diving company was discovered to have a number of certification inconsistencies including forged HSE diving certificates and medicals. The diving contractor involved had been operating in the area for the past two years.
Recommendations
This highlights the importance of having in place audit programmes for sub-contractor companies and their personnel.
