The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) is a globally recognised trade association that comprises of members who operate in the offshore, marine and underwater engineering contractors and their partners in the offshore oil, gas and renewable energy industries.

Safety is not a need to comply with; it is a need for a sustainable workforce and working culture that benefits the employee and the company. Maintaining proper health and safety practices at the workplace creates a win-win situation for everyone.

Complexities and challenges involved in ROV/Diving operations Offshore oil and gas drilling or exploration, sub aquatic construction, marine vessel repairs/maintenance and many other activities call for diving operations.

Health and safety at the workplace assumes crucial significance. All the more so in offshore oil and gas operations, where people often work in hazardous environments and perform under risky situations.

Diving operations constitute a high-risk activity where the safety of personnel and protection of high-cost equipment is paramount.
