INTERNATIONAL NEWS
Commercial divers work for a variety of different industries, including aquaculture, fish farming, construction, offshore oil and gas, law enforcement and utilities. They may be undertaking inspections, maintenance or construction work. On any given day, a commercial diver can be found breaking up rock with a hydraulic jackhammer, pouring concrete under water and rigging up cars to be hoisted out of a lake.

 

Regardless of the job, occupational health and safety needs to be the first thing that commercial divers think about before they dive in.
