Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Diving Operations at Work Regulations 1981 (“the principal Regulations”).
In addition to drafting amendments and updating of references to other legislation, the changes relate to provisions in connection with first-aid.
Regulations 2(d) and (f) require diving contractors to provide equipment facilities, medications and personnel which are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances, and to ensure that persons engaged in the diving operation receive specified information. The diving team required by regulation 8 of the principal Regulations must include sufficient competent persons to render first-aid or give treatment in specified circumstances (regulation 2(f) ).
Regulation 2(e) adds a requirement that divers have a valid certificate of diving first-aid which is described in regulation 2(h). Regulation 2(c) deals with the application of the requirement to certain other persons working in surface compression chambers. Regulation 3 contains a transitional provision in respect of the requirement in regulation 7(1)(b) of the principal Regulations.
