How do I select a safe, qualified commercial diving contractor?
Start with the basics. A legitimate diving contractor should meet all the requirements found in the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) Consensus Standards and the OSHA Commercial Diving Regulations. They should also provide insurance coverages that meet policy limits typically called for by customers employing commercial diving contractors. The bid process provides an excellent opportunity for additional screening. Ask for safety data such as EMR and evaluate the contractor’s experience working in your industry and performing the type of work specified in the bid documents. Carefully consider price. The lowest bidder may be financially attractive but his low price could indicate and unfamiliarity with the work or an effort to cut corners to keep costs low.
