Underwater Operations

Commercial diving operations are clearly hazardous but what do you really know about your underwater contractor, their procedures and their safety culture?

 

Ocean Technical Safety Services Ltd has a wealth of knowledge and experience of diving operations, both onshore and offshore, and can act as your safety representative, supplier auditor, consultant or project manager.

 

We provide staff who are or have been commercial divers and they come with documented experience of the operation that our client is undertaking. This means that you can benefit from real world experience and real-life industry knowledge to ensure that your operation is carried out to the highest standards of safety.

Operational Safety Audit Service

Commercial diving operations are a highly regulated activity and rightly so. There are a raft of commercial diving approved codes of practice (ACOP) that provide guidance for the interpretation of the Diving at Work Regulations 1997.

 

Commercial diving operators must also have extensive procedures (often termed arrangements) for how they carry out their operations safely. But can you be sure that procedure equals practice?

 

Our experience tells us that procedures themselves don’t keep people safe; the best management system in the world comes to nothing if it isn’t diligently adhered to. It’s about operators doing what they say the do.

 

At Ocean Technical Safety Services Ltd our BSI ISO45001 Lead Auditors work on behalf of the vessel owner or duty holder to carry out audits on commercial diving providers operations. We work to the requirements of the Regulations to ensure that your suppliers put procedure into practice .

Client Representation Service

Ocean Technical Safety Services Ltd provides a Client Representative service. This service ensures that the client has a subject matter expert on site, working to ensure that your underwater project is completed to the highest level of safety.

 

Our representative will work in your interests ensuring that no corners are cut and that the contractor is held to account in terms of safety, quality and time spent on the job.

 

Being experts in their field, our Client Representatives are able to liaise knowledgably between the contractor and client ensuring that problems are solved effectively and cost efficiently.

 

Our Client Representatives come from a variety of backgrounds including offshore oil & gas, wind energy and underwater civil engineering. Having actually undertaken many of the jobs that they will be overseeing, they can provide realistic commentary on how a job is progressing and where improvements can be made if necessary.

 

Most of all, our clients get the peace of mind that their job is being carried out to the highest possible standards of safety.
