Diving Safety Management Systems Workshop – Co‑Hosted with ADCI

The Diving Safety Management System (DSMS) Workshop, co‑hosted by DSMS and the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI), is set to bring together commercial diving contractors, supervisors, safety officers, project managers, training providers, and industry regulators for a one‑day, high‑impact learning experience.

Designed for companies operating in inshore, offshore, and inland diving, the workshop is your opportunity to master the technical, operational, and compliance elements that keep divers safe and projects efficient—while meeting or exceeding industry best practices.

Why a Diving Safety Management System Matters

Diving operations take place in some of the most hazardous work environments on Earth. The complexity of these operations demands a structured, systematic approach to safety management – one that integrates occupational health, operational controls, and regulatory compliance into every dive project.

A Diving Safety Management System (DSMS) is more than paperwork—it’s a living framework for:

– Reducing the risk of fatalities, injuries, and lost‑time incidents

– Meeting regulatory requirements and passing client audits

– Improving efficiency through streamlined operational planning and hazard control

– Demonstrating competency to clients, insurers, and regulators

What You’ll Learn

This hands‑on, interactive program goes beyond theory to give you practical, ready‑to‑use tools you can take back to your company:

– Fundamentals & Structure of a DSMS – Building the backbone of your safety program

– Integrating OH&S and Diving Safety – Bridging marine, diving, and workplace safety

– Hazard Control & Emergency Preparedness – Proven strategies for risk mitigation

– Compliance Pathways – Aligning with ADCI, OSHA & ISO

– Performance Metrics – Using KPIs to monitor and improve diving safety

– Audit Readiness – Preparing for client and regulatory inspections with confidence

Bring your company’s editable safety manual – you’ll actively refine it during group exercises.
