You will need to comply with this standard if you intend to carry out high risk diving work. High risk diving work includes, but is not limited to, the following work carried out in or underwater whilst breathing compressed gas:
- construction work
- the assembly of prefabricated elements to form a structure
- inspections for the purpose of construction work
- the recovery or salvage of a large structure or large item of plant for commercial purposes.
This standard provides organisational and logistical requirements for the conduct of occupational diving operations, including the use of compressed gas supply apparatus and specific requirements for the use of surface-supplied breathing apparatus and self-contained underwater breathing apparatus in occupational underwater operations at depths not exceeding 50 metres.
