Revised diving guidelines - Have your say

The Offshore Infrastructure Regulator (OIR) and NOPSEMA have jointly developed a revised Diving guideline to support the preparation of Diving Safety Management Systems (DSMS) and Diving Project Plans (DPP) as required by both the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Safety) Regulations 2024 (OPGGS) and Offshore Electricity Infrastructure Regulations 2022 (OEI Regulations).

The guideline provides clarity on:

• The minimum content requirements of a DSMS and DPP under the relevant OPGGS and OEI regulations.
• Expectations for workforce consultation and involvement under Section 4.18 (OPGGS Regulations) and Regulation 170A (OEI Regulations).

We invite stakeholders to provide feedback on the revised guideline here.

The consultation period will close on 14 May 2025.
