Managing Health and Safety at Recreational Dive Sites

This booklet provides guidance for those who have any involvement with the management of health and safety at recreational dive sites; primarily site owners/operators.

Its aim is to describe the main risks at managed dive sites and some of the steps that can safeguard the health and safety of employees, divers and other visitors to the site.

This guidance does not attempt to deal with safe diving practices and the associated risks, nor does it cover the regulations regarding offices, shops and other ancillary businesses.
