\"\"<\/a>The amendment to eliminate the clause allowing the use of a Three Man minimum crew in low risk surface supplied diving is now out for the 60 day public review. The reason for the amendment is the clause was being used as a loophole keep crew size down (low bid \/ economics over safety) to allow a three man crew when common sense best practices and risk analysis definitely required a four man crew. Diver safety was being compromised.<\/p>\n

If you have concerns or comments, this is where you officially state them for consideration and review by the main technical committee.  Bottom line on this is that only four man minimum crews will be allowed in CSA Z275.2 Surface Supplied Diving starting in the fall 2018. (NOTE: There is also movement to carry this over to occupational SCUBA operations and is to be debated by CSA Diving Standards Groups in the fall (and is actually unofficially gaining traction now.))<\/em><\/p>\n

The public review notice for the proposed amendment to Z275.2 was posted earlier this week.
\nhttps:\/\/community.csagroup.org\/thread\/12028<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: In the case of small amendments to standards, CSA does not post the entire document for review \u2013 just the parts that are changing.<\/p>\n

For this amendment, the notice is simple – elimination of provisions related to 3-person crews.<\/p>\n

Dive Safe \u2013 stay safe.<\/p>\n
