Offshore Duty Holder Diving Management Review (ODDMR)

These assessments will include but are not limited to, a review of the Offshore Duty Holder's SMS, policies and installation safety cases. The review will not be a full review of the documents and procedures within the Quality, Health, Safety and Environment management system but will identify the documents and procedures required for subsea operations supported by diving operations available as required by UK legislation.

The review process is designed to ensure that the Offshore Duty Holder complies with the oil and gas industries' current UK legislation and guidance for carrying out operations supported by diving operations.

The process will ensure the Offshore Duty Holder has a robust system and processes to manage diving operations per the Offshore Duty Holders Diving Management Review (ODDMR) requirements. It will also ensure that they have a robust system and processes in place to comply with the HSE Safety Case Regulations 2005 and that they can undertake work in line with the HSE HSG65 Successful Health and Safety Management requirements.

As well as the above, other areas that will be reviewed are:

• Do they have the ability to carry out subsea operations supported by diving operations per UK legislation L103 Diving at Work Regulations 1997 (second edition)?
• Do they have the ability to carry out subsea operations supported by diving operations in accordance with IMCA International Approved Codes of Practice IMCA D014?
• Is there a robust competence scheme in place identifying all diving personnel as suitably qualified and competent in accordance with HSE legislation and IMCA guidelines for the operations they are to undertake?
