    Report summary

    Stephen Owen O’MALLEY, a contracted commercial diver, died after experiencing breathing difficulties while working underwater at an offshore wind farm in the North Sea. The report states that he suffered a cardiac arrest following hypoxia caused by impaired breathing associated with compression from his neck dam ring. A substantive concern was that his rescue was delayed because the standby diver could not locate the harness C-clip, and whether checking that the C-clip was free and accessible should form part of pre-dive checks.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to check that the harness c-clip is free and accessible before a dive

    Wider context from the report

    “The court has been advised that rescue of Mr O’Malley from the sea was delayed because the standby diver could not locate the c-clip on the back of his harness which was to facilitate hoisting him from the water. The Court has heard that checking this c-clip is free and accessible is not part of the standard checks before a dive. Should such a check be part of the pre-dive protocol checks? ”
