This is the fifth edition of CSA Z275.2, Occupational safety code for diving operations. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2004, 1992, 1982, and 1974. It is part of a series of Standards on diving and caisson systems covering hyperbaric facilities, occupational diving, and construction work in compressed air.
These are the standards that members of CADC have pledged to follow as a MINIMUM level of safety in your operations. It is also the basis of most of the regulations (if adapted) by the various “authorities having jurisdiction” in the provinces. Good to have on your bookshelf!!
A LOT of work has gone into these standards and although not perfect (it never is!) – is a consensus on what industry, regulators and educators – and other stake holders – see as a minimum safety standard for diving operations.

There is gonna be problems with this commercial scuba, restricted / unrestricted certification .. The industry doesn’t need this.. This is direct competition with commercial dive companies. I have no problem with seafood harvesters or diving for science… Other than that this is a money grab for schools and DCBC audits and certifications..this needs to stop now!! If a client requests a DCBC compliant dive operation for a job that can be done on scuba meaning a simple inspection or whatever, …I can’t dive or supervise it ( 35 years experience) because I don’t have a scuba endorsement on my ticket?? Are you kidding?? Someone had better revisit the training and experience of commercial divers as to scuba divers…and sort this out!! More on this later!! (Safety) The horn has sounded , Terry Griffin
