The operator of the diving project must provide a start-up notice to the regulator. If there is no operator, the diving contractor must provide a start-up notice to the regulator.
A start-up notice is a written notice that must be completed and signed and dated by or for the person giving it and contain the following information: (r.94(1))
A guide providing information to diving contractors on the preparation and lodgement requirements of diving start-up notices is currently being drafted and will be available shortly.
Once the start-up notice has been completed, signed and dated the form is submitted to the regulator via email to petreps@dmirs.wa.gov.au.
In accordance with r.77, the regulator keeps a register of each DSMS and revised DSMS received
