New diving safety software launched

A specialist north-east UK oil and gas industry support and training facility has developed a new software package to control diving system equipment certification and maintenance to industry standards.

The Aberdeen based National Hyperbaric Centre (NHC), which has been operating in the north-east for more than 20 years, has created a certification management system called DiveCert as a full proof method for ensuring all diving system equipment is regularly tested and recertified to the current industry requirements.

DiveCert controls air diving, mixed gas and saturation diving system certification in accordance with The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) guildelines.

The software allows companies to create, control, store and synchronise entire diving system certification from one portal.

DiveCert has been developed around IMCA documentation to assist with the discipline and organisation for audits and quality control purposes and the software has more than 500 certificate templates.

The system maintains all certification and identifies when they are due to expire or overdue, ensuring that the user has full control and awareness of the status of the diving system certification and maintenance.
