is at least one meter in height so that it
is visible from any direction; the
employer must illuminate the flag
during night diving operations.
Section 1910.422(e). Description of
the requirement. Employers must
develop and maintain a depth-time
profile for each diver that includes, as
appropriate, any breathing gas changes
or decompression.
Sections 1910.423(b)(1)(ii) through
(b)(2). Description of the requirements.
Requires the employer to: instruct each
diver to report any physical symptoms
or adverse physiological effects,
including symptoms of DCS; advise
each diver of the location of a
decompression chamber that is ready for
use; and alert each diver to the potential
hazards of flying after diving. For any
dive outside the no-decompression
limits, deeper than 100 feet, or that uses
mixed gas in the breathing mixture, the
employer also must inform the diver to
remain awake and in the vicinity of the
decompression chamber that is at the
dive location for at least one hour after
a dive, or after any decompression or
treatment associated with a dive.
Section 1910.423(d). Description of
the requirement. Paragraph (d)(1)
specifies that employers are to record
and maintain the following information
for each diving operation: The names of
dive-team members; date, time, and
location; diving modes used; general
description of the tasks performed; an
estimate of the underwater and surface
conditions; and the maximum depth
and bottom time for each diver. In
addition, for each dive outside the nodecompression limits, deeper than 100
feet, or that uses mixed gas in the
breathing mixture, paragraph (d)(2)
requires the employer to record and
maintain the following information for
each diver: Depth-time and breathinggas profiles; decompression table
designation (including any
modifications); and elapsed time since
the last pressure exposure when it is
less than 24 hours or the repetitive dive
designation. Under paragraph (d)(3), if
the dive results in DCS symptoms, or
the employer suspects that a diver has
DCS, the employer must record and
maintain a description of the DCS
symptoms (including the depth and
time of symptom onset) and the results
of treatment.
Section 1910.423(e). Description of
the requirement. Requires employers to
assess each DCS incident by:
investigating and evaluating it based on
the recorded information, consideration
of the past performance of the
decompression profile used, and the
diver’s individual susceptibility to DCS;
taking appropriate corrective action to

Jkt 205001
reduce the probability of a DCS
recurrence; and, within 45 days of the
DCS incident, preparing a written
evaluation of this assessment, including
any corrective action taken.
Sections 1910.430(a), (b)(4), (c)(1)(ii),
(c)(3)(i), (f)(3)(ii), and (g)(2). Description
of the requirements. Paragraph (a)
contains a general requirement that
employers must record by means of
tagging or a logging system any work
performed on equipment, including any
modifications, repairs, tests,
calibrations, or maintenance performed
on the equipment. This record is to
include a description of the work, the
name or initials of the individual who
performed the work, and the date they
completed the work. Paragraphs (b)(4)
and (c)(1)(iii) require employers to test
two specific types of equipment,
including, respectively: the output of air
compressor systems used to supply
breathing air to divers for air purity
every six months by means of samples
taken at the connection to the
distribution system; and breathing-gas
hoses at least annually at one and onehalf times their working pressure. Under
paragraph (c)(3)(i), employers must
mark each umbilical (i.e., separate lines
supplying air and communications to a
diver, as well as a safety line, tied
together in a bundle), beginning at the
diver’s end, in 10-foot increments for
100 feet, then in 50-foot increments.
Paragraph (f)(3)(ii) mandates that
employers regularly inspect and
maintain mufflers located in intake and
exhaust lines on decompression
chambers. According to paragraph
(g)(2), employers are to test depth
gauges using dead-weight testing, or
calibrate the gauges against a master
reference gauge; such testing or
calibration is to occur every six months
and when the employer finds a
discrepancy larger than two percent of
the full scale between any two
equivalent gauges. Employers must
make a record of the tests, calibrations,
inspections, and maintenance
performed on the equipment specified
by these paragraphs in accordance with
§ 1910.430(a).
Sections 1910.440(a)(2) and (b).
Description of the requirements. Under
paragraph (a)(2) of this provision,
employers must record any divingrelated injuries and illnesses that result
in a dive-team member remaining in
hospital for at least 24 hours. This
record is to describe the circumstances
of the incident and the extent of any
injuries or illnesses.
Paragraph (b) of this provision
regulates the availability of the records
required by the Subpart, including who
has access to these records, the retention

Frm 00060

Sfmt 4703
periods for various records, and, in
some cases, the final disposition of the
records. Under paragraph (b)(1),
employers must make any record
required by the Subpart available, on
request, for inspection and copying by
an OSHA compliance officer or to a
representative of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). Paragraph (b)(2) specifies that
employers are to provide employees,
their designated representatives, and
OSHA compliance officers with
exposure and medical records generated
under the Subpart in accordance with
§ 1910.1020 (‘‘Access to employee
exposure and medical records’’); these
records include safe-practices manuals,
depth-time profiles, diving records, DCS
incident assessments, and
hospitalization records. This paragraph
also mandates that employers make
equipment inspection and testing
records available to employees and their
designated representative on request.
According to paragraph (b)(3),
employers must retain these records for
the following periods: Safe-practices
manuals, current document only; depthtime profiles, until completing the
diving record or the DCS incident
assessment; diving records, one year,
except five years when a DCS incident
occurred during the dive; DCS incident
assessments, five years; hospitalization
records, five years; and equipment
inspections and testing records (i.e.,
current tag or log entry), until the
employer removes the equipment from
service. Paragraphs (b)(4) and (b)(5)
specify the requirements for disposing
of these records. Under paragraph (b)(4),
employers are to forward to NIOSH any
record with an expired five-year
retention period. Paragraph (b)(5) states
that employers who cease to do business
must transfer records without unexpired
retention dates to the successor
employer who will retain them for the
required period; however, when
employers cease to do business without
a successor employer, they must transfer
the records to NIOSH.
