Commie/HSE Diver Required - Overhead Environment

[Billy the Kangaroo]

If HSE rules kick in ( and they will ), doesn't the diver need a rescue diver and trained surface cover, risk assessment etc etc ?
It's not going to be cheap if it's done properly.......

If its diving for reward, HSE applies. In this case you also need confined spaces training to comply with the ACOP.

Given the cheap prices of water, it would be easier to drain the pool, inspect and maintain then refill.

No diver required. Why involve additional complications and risk?

I could have got the wrong end of the stick, but this sound like going through the pool floor into a cable duct/room?

Water may be cheap but emptying and refilling a pool probably isn't and an empty pool is not going to be making any money.

At a guess I'd say they'd be looking to stick some rubber suited types into the water when joe public has gone home and crawl around under the pool floor fixing things. Personally I'd want a bit more than £10 an hour for that.

pools are normally repaired etc. wet for all the above reasons also the cost of disposing of thousands of gallons of chlorinated water, but the main reason being if you dewater a pool you run a very big risk of blowing shit loads of tiles off so what started of as a miner issue gets very big very fast,

Did my bit on Monday........

" For the third time there is NO FCUKING net/ ropes on ya port prop........ What part of your gearbox / shaft is fcuked don't you understand ? "

To those that don't know ,,, the shaft had dropped , suggesting a bearing has collasped ...

However, is this a OVERHEAD hazard ?
