Diving Operations Permit to Work
This Diving Operations Permit to Work template helps plan, authorize, and control in-water work around vessels and yachts. It covers diver certification and fitness, equipment checks for BCD, depth gauge, and signaling devices, communication testing between divers, tenders, and the bridge, and critical vessel isolations before hull work, including overboard discharges, propulsion and gearboxes, stabilizers, thrusters, steering pumps, cathodic protection, echo sounder, and shell door operations. It prompts hoisting of the International Code Flag A, availability of oxygen and first aid at the entry and exit points, and logging dive times. For tender-based dives, it includes confirmations to the yacht, medical equipment checks, and identification of emergency services, nearest hospital, and hyperbaric chamber, plus weather and sea condition reviews. Opening and closing sections ensure permits are time-bound, all parties are informed, and competent and authorizing officers sign off.

UESI Diving Safety Audit Checklist
This UESI Diving Safety Audit template supports marine and commercial diving teams in conducting comprehensive safety checks before and during operations. It covers vehicles, trailers, and boats, verifies required safety equipment and signage, and assesses site hazards and housekeeping. The checklist reviews PPE, fire protection, electrical safety, ladders, and fall arrest gear. A detailed diving readiness section confirms briefings, emergency aids, oxygen, first aid, air systems, gauges, flags, and exposure protection. It also defines dive termination criteria and includes an emergency drill assessment and overall status. Use it to strengthen compliance and maintain safe, incident free marine operations.

General Access Permit

Record approvals and acceptance, and have personnel acknowledge hazards, control measures, PPE, and emergency procedures. Close out the permit with sign-off, date and time, and run security checks to ensure permits, passes, and keys are returned. Includes space for additional comments.
