Diving and moving vessels

Take measures to minimise or eliminate the risk of divers being injured or killed by moving vessels.

For example:

Fit propeller guards.
Use buoys and markers to separate diving activity from vessels.
Use flags and night lights to indicate that divers are present.
Appoint lookouts to maintain watch and form part of the communication system.
Ensure that workers are familiar with dive sites and able to navigate.
Implement safe systems of work.
