A diving safety management system outlines how the diving contractor will undertake diving projects and the systems in place to manage the health and safety of workers, hazard identification and risk management. It may be described as a detailed and documented commitment from the diving contractor to the regulator outlining:
- all types of diving activities to be undertaken
- an overview of equipment type, any relevant certification required and used as well as sufficient backup and support resources
- the identification of hazards and risk management associated with those hazards
- the safety management arrangements to address the findings of those risk management studies
- emergency management plans and resources for the project.
