Contacts
HSE offices are organised into regions. In the first instance most enquiries should be routed via Infoline. Depending on the complexity of the query Infoline may transfer calls to a ‘lead’ within the sector or the appropriate Diving team within regional offices.
The Diving Operations Strategy Team is responsible for operational strategy and guidance on diving matters and is a focal point for operational diving policy and information for other government departments/agencies, industry and the general public - contact details for this team are as follows:
