Competence of worker—general diving work—qualifications—Act, s 44
171 Competence of worker—general diving work—qualifications—Act, s 44
A person must not carry out any type of general diving work unless the person holds a certificate for general diving work, issued by a training organisation, that demonstrates that the person has acquired the relevant competencies for that type of general diving work.
This section does not apply in relation to incidental diving work or limited scientific diving work.
In this section:
relevant competencies means the competencies stated in AS/NZS 2815 (Training and certification of occupational divers) that are relevant to the type of general diving work to which subsection (1) applies.
Note AS/NZS 2815 does not need to be notified under the Legislation Act because s 47 (5) does not apply (see s 15 and Legislation Act, s 47 (7)). The standard may be purchased at www.standards.org.au.
