• Certificate
IV in Occupational Diving (Diver Medical Technician). National Qualification
Code 80353ACT.
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.
