Occupational Diving Risk Management
Understanding the Hazard is the First Step Towards Managing the Risk
Welcome
Welcome to Occupational Diving Risk Management (ODRM)
ODRM provides independent, evidence-led guidance on the risks that shape occupational diving. We serve regulators, project owners, prime contractors, and safety professionals who need a clear, authoritative understanding of the hazards present in occupational diving work.
Decisions made before a diver enters the water determine whether that diver comes home. ODRM exists to make sure those decisions are grounded in real experience and honest risk assessment.
Before work begins
Hiring a diving contractor? Planning begins with you.
If your organization is arranging underwater work, important decisions begin before a diving contractor is selected. A clear understanding of the task, the worksite hazards and the expected outcome helps establish how the work should be planned and managed.
You do not need to be a diver to ask the right questions. You do need to recognize when specialist diving knowledge is necessary.
