| Abstract: | In 1982 the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) examined records of scientific divers and, based on their finding of an exemplary safety record resulting from self-regulation, partially exempted scientific diving from the strict control placed on commercial diving activities. A retrospective examination of recent scientific diving statistics and incident reports was undertaken to determine if the original reasoning behind the partial exemption is still valid. Available data going back to 1998 indicated a total injury incident rate per 100 workers comparable to the earlier OSHA study. |
