Diving Work

The statutory check-up complies with the legal requirements of AFS 2019:3 and applies to divers as as a professional group. Before you order the service, you need to carry out a risk assessment.

What it is

Medical Check-up - Diving Work is done to prevent accidents and reduce health risks associated with diving work. After the check-up, we will issue a certificate of service.

When it should be done

• Before start of employment
• Before work is resumed if more than five years have passed. For those who have turned 40, the same applies already at two years
• Before continuing work for those who have had an incident that may entail increased risk during diving work
• Every five years for those under 40 and at least every two years for those over 40

The employer is responsible for ensuring that the medical check-ups are done with the right periodicity.
