Issue Date: May 2024
The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
This unit covers the competency required to complete underwater rigging work.
The unit also includes securing and moving submerged loads through the employment of blocks and tackle, chains, slings, and cordage.
The diver will be required to establish secure lift points, to set rigging equipment between the load and the lifting platform, and to control the conduct of the lift. Attention must be given to safety during the lift particularly with regard to other divers and nearby surface vessels and/or structures. Consideration must also be given to the environmental impact of any work undertaken.
Note: This Unit of Competency relates, in part, to the existing standards of the Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS). All information was correct at the time of development of this Unit of Competency; however, any diver seeking ADAS accreditation should consult ADAS and not rely on the information contained in this unit.
