Scope
Description
The Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) have a continued requirement to raise staff awareness
of Diving including the risks involved with Diving activity. It is apparent that personnel should not
procure diving services, without having a level of awareness around what is involved and what
is entailed with this, and as diving is considered a high risk to life activity, the SDA seeks
someone with the appropriate level of Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP) to
develop and conduct an onsite training course to cover this activity and cover the essential
criteria.
This course will be directed at persons directly or indirectly involved in diving contracts and or
managing diving operations on behalf of the SDA. Diving Safety Awareness Training is a course
to familiarise non-diving personnel with commercial diving legislation, guidance & standards,
working processes, emergency preparedness, hazards, equipment types, safe working practice
and laws of physics, ways to assure diving is being conducted safely.
