Refresher Courses
Must have completed the TUCF/Fremantle Hospital course within
the past 3 yeasrs.
The course meets the requirements of:
• ADAS
Diver Medical Technician.
• Certificate
III in Occupational Diving (Diver Medical Technician). National
Qualification Code 80453ACT.
When working offshore, all divers will have been trained in
first aid. However, there is a requirement for a member of the
dive team who is not diving, other than the supervisor, to be
trained in advanced first aid – generally referred to
as a “diver medic” or “diver medical technician”
(DMT).
The TUCF/Fremantle Hospital DMT course content is based on previous
HSE requirements, but the relevance of the contents has been
regularly audited by ADAS, and changes have been made where
appropriate.
The course is competency based. Each module of the course has
clearly identified competencies that are assessed at various
stages [of the course]. Competencies will be assessed practically,
verbally or by questionnaire.
The aim of the course is to ensure the Diver Medic is:
• capable
of administering First Aid and emergency treatment and of carrying
out the directions of a doctor pending
the arrival of more skilled medical aid;
• capable
of communicating understandably by telephone, radio or facsimile
with the doctor;
• familiar
with diving procedures and compression chamber operation, and
• able
to assist the diving supervisor with decompression procedures
and advising when medical help should
be sought.
The Diver Medic must be fit to enter a chamber in an emergency
and must hold a valid diver's certificate of medical fitness
and maintain a personal logbook in which to keep the certificate
and record details of any entry into the compression chamber.
Anyone can join the course as a student, irrespective of their
background and qualifications. However, they will only be issued
an IMCA-Recognised ADAS certificate if they hold an offshore
qualification in diving.
Notes, certification and all equipment for the course are provided.
