Diving work

Health check for diving at work in accordance with Section 77 of the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations on Medical checks at work (AFS 2019:3), with assessment for certificate for service.

The medical check is aimed at divers as a professional group. The aim of the survey is to prevent accidents and ill health during works that includes diving.

  • Within 12 months before diving work begins for the first time.
  • Before diving work resumes and over five years passed since the last medical examination. For those over the age of 40, the same applies after two years.
  • Before continuing work after illness, accident or other events that may result in an increased risk of ill health or accident during diving work.
  • At least every five years, a periodic survey shall be carried out for those under the age of 40. For those over 40 years of age, a periodic examination shall be carried out at least every two years.
