This Code gives advice on meeting the requirements of the Diving at Work Regulations 1997 for commercial diving projects inland/inshore. It applies to all diving projects conducted in support of civil engineering or marine-related projects and fish farming:

• inshore within United Kingdom territorial waters adjacent to Great Britain (generally 12 nautical miles from the low water line)
• inland in Great Britain including in docks, harbours, rivers, culverts, canals, lakes, ponds and reservoirs
• in tanks or swimming pools.

The Code does not apply to:

• scallop diving, for which the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued specific guidance
• diving projects specifically covered by one of the other Codes under the Diving Regulations.

Review of ACOPs

HSE has recently consulted on proposals to review its Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs). Details of proposals and the outcome of the consultation are available.
