What is being bought

Published requirement 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.
