1 Introduction
The purpose of this document is to set out OGP’s recommendations on the competence of diving
representatives.
Reference is made to OGP’s Diving recommended practice document (Report № 411, June 2008).
Summary of the need for offshore worksite representative(s):

• Acts as ‘eyes & ears’ for the client with regard to offshore operations and ensuring that work
procedures and management of change are followed
• Ensures that health & safety issues are kept foremost
• Monitors competence issues with team performing work at site
• Ensures compliance with local & international regulations
• Monitors the safety & efficiency of operations
• Reports on the work done, lessons learned, any useful pointers and recommended improve-

Summary of the requirements of an offshore worksite representative(s)

• Must know and understand the type of work that they have to undertake
• Must know and understand the detail of the offshore campaign and who they report to
• Must know and understand the company ethos
• Must know and understand what the company expects of them
Summary of competence and expectations

A shortened and simplified version of this is in the selection matrix guide in Section 8
• Leadership qualities
• Offshore management experience with excellent man management skills thus ensuring that an
‘open door’ policy exists.
• Relevant discipline offshore experience and training (marine, diving, ROV, survey/inspection,

• Broad knowledge of subsea operations as a whole
• Extensive experience of relevant offshore operations
• Good communication skills
• Has been instructed by the company in the behaviour and attitudes expected from the com-
pany’s worksite representatives both offshore and onshore. This is to include company ethics,
company expectations with regard to relationship with the contractor’s personnel.
• Good understanding of health & safety requirements as well as current local legislation as it
pertains to diving and subsea operations. Has received formal company training in this.
• Has been thoroughly familiarised with corporate health and safety policy.
• Good understanding of the hazard identification & risk assessment process and able to run such
a process
• Knowledge of corporate management of change process
• Knowledge of corporate accident & incident reporting & investigation process

2 The client’s worksite representative – task & role
• The client’s worksite representative acts as the client’s eyes & ears during the offshore phase of a
project. They are the client’s prime method of monitoring what is going on at the site from both
the point of view of safety and efficiency.
• Leadership and good people management is an essential part of the work.
• Must fully comprehend the task that is to be undertaken, the methodology to be used and be
thoroughly conversant with the relevant rules, regulations and best industry practices.
• Will be accountable for ensuring that the contractor executes the approved scope of work in
accordance with the approved procedures.
• Must understand the operational interfaces required to achieve the objective.
It therefore stands to reason that, for certain complicated tasks, more than one discipline of worksite
representative may be required.
It is the responsibility of the client to determine the make-up of their offshore team to give the exper-
tise on site needed to see the job through to an efficient, safe and satisfactory conclusion.

3 Client worksite representative

disciplines and selection process
The types of offshore diving related work will vary between a major offshore project involving all
types of subsea operations to an IRM project which may consist of basic inspection activities. Dif-
ferent types of project will each require different degrees of client worksite representation offshore
with differing degrees of competence and skill.
3.1 Client worksite representative denominations

In simple form the client worksite representatives can be split up into the following denominations:
Senior client representative Typically an experienced offshore client worksite representative
Diving representative A Diving Specialist with experience of the type of diving & job being undertaken
A marine specialist with experience of the type of vessel being employed and familiar with the marine environment
Marine representative
being worked in
Engineering representative Typically an engineer who has been involved in the project for most of its lifecycle
Other specialist representative eg geophysical, survey, subsea well work-overs, etc
The roles and responsibilities of each of these classes of worksite representative are discussed in the
following sections.
If any of the following roles and responsibilities is not appropriate or if other roles or responsibilities
have been omitted, it is for the client company to highlight this in the project specific documenta-
tion and instructions for the worksite representatives.
It should be noted that one person might fulfil one or more of the positions in the following sec-
tions. This will depend on that person’s areas of competence.
Each project must be subjected to individual scrutiny to determine the type, number and compe-
tence of the client worksite representatives that will be required offshore to manage the project off-
shore on behalf of the client.
During longer offshore projects care should be taken, when nominating personnel for crew changes,
that the client worksite representative team competence levels are not compromised.
3.2 Senior Client worksite Representative (SCR)

The senior client worksite representative should have had an involvement in the planning of the
offshore work and must have had a through briefing and a chance to read through and comment on
project specific documentation and procedures.
• Must ensure that the team (if any) attend the project safety briefing, subsequent safety meetings
and pre-shift briefings as may be agreed.
• Must ensure that they are thoroughly briefed with regard to their duties on board.
Client worksite representatives are to provide input to HAZID/HIRAs and risk assessments and
must ensure that these are conducted, particularly after there have been any changes to procedures.
Client worksite representatives are to ensure that any issues raised during such meetings are followed
up and closed out prior to that particular section of work
They are to provide advice and input into any development of procedures on board the vessel.

Suggested responsibilities for senior client worksite representatives during the offshore works
During the offshore work phase it is recommended that the senior client worksite representative has
the following responsibilities:
• Attends project safety meetings and the daily project meeting.
• Ensures that all relevant certification and audits are in date and that any close-out actions from
those audits have been carried out.
• Ensures that any issues raised during the HAZID/HIRA process or which are raised during
safety meetings are closed out prior to the relevant phase of the work to which they refer is
started or further progressed.
• Acts as the focal point between the operator and the contractor particularly where the permit
to work is concerned, for operational liaison and technical input from the operating company.
• Informs the client’s offshore and onshore management about progress and planning using
DPRs and e-mail/telephone updates.
• Arranges logistical support for helicopter/supply vessel/personnel movements.
• Attends onboard safety meetings and operational meetings
• Monitors the work being carried out to ensure that it is done safely and follows approved pro-
cedures.
• Acts on behalf of the client in the management of change process.
• Ensures that the appropriate accident/incident investigation and reporting procedures are fol-
lowed.
• Acts as the client focal point during any emergencies on board.
• Undertakes a daily walk through operational areas to check on progress, local safety and tidi-
ness. Uses this walkabout to discuss progress and any possibilities for improvements with the
team on the job.
• Must participate in the development of all SIMOPs documents to ensure that all parties have a
clear understanding of diving activities and their impact on adjacent work activities
• Where unable to attend a meeting, the senior client representatives should delegate this an
assistant worksite representatives.
• Keeps a detailed diary covering the project activities offshore with reference to any specific mes-
sages, e-mails or telephone conversations.
The keeping of a good record is an essential part of the job and the substance of any telephone conver-
sations is important to record as well because these can have a considerable bearing on the outcome
of any subsequent investigations into any accident or incident. The night shift client representatives,
if one is carried, is responsible for keeping the diary written up during his shift. This diary must be
kept accurately and be as detailed as possible during any offshore emergency. Indeed the keeping of
such a diary should be delegated, if necessary, to one of the junior client representatives as a full time
job during an emergency with the senior client representatives providing oversight.
The senior client worksite representatives will have the responsibility of exercising an effective over-
view of the offshore operation and its schedule so that any weaknesses in procedures, workforce or
planning are detected, addressed and remedied. He is to encourage an ‘open door’ policy so that any
concerns can be voiced and improvements in procedures and processes encouraged.
Project close-out
The senior client worksite representatives is to attend the project lessons learned meeting. This is
sometimes held under the chairmanship of the contractor’s offshore manager.
The senior client representatives shall ensure that minutes of this meeting are taken to include any
suggestions or criticisms made and to ensure that these observations are passed on and discussed
with his manager on shore. These minutes should accompany his own end of job report which
should contain a summary of the work done, his daily diary and any points raised for improvement
in the future.

3.3 Diving worksite representative

The diving worksite representative will have the following responsibilities:
• Monitoring the contractor to ensure compliance with legislation, the OGP Diving recom-
mended practice and industry best practices. Shall identify any shortfalls to the senior client
worksite representative.
• Recognise that on some vessels monitoring diving activities from dive control provides addi-
tional assurance due to hearing both the diver and supervisor. Other vessels will provide this
capability in the clients office setup.
• Participation in offshore risk assessments and in the management of change process.
• Provision of ‘in field’ short term planning input within his area of competence.
• Producing a list of ‘lessons learned’ to assist with client learning on project completion.
• Maintenance of list of diving related drills carried out during the project (see Appendix 3).
3.4 Marine worksite representative

If marine worksite representatives are carried they have the following responsibilities:
• Monitoring the contractor to ensure compliance with contract marine requirements and the
client’s marine procedures identifying any shortfalls to the senior client’s representative.
• Participation in offshore risk assessments and in the management of change process.
• Provision of ‘in-field’ short term planning input within his areas of competence.
In order to do this its recommended they should have:
• Formal training and experience in DP operations if on a DP vessel.
• Relevant experience in the type of marine operations being undertaken.
3.5 Engineering worksite representative

If engineering worksite representatives are carried it is recommended they should have the following
responsibilities:
• Monitoring the operations to ensure compliance with contract technical requirements and pro-
cedures and identify any shortfalls to the senior client’s representative.
• Provision of specialist engineering and asset advice when required.
• Provision of ‘in-field’ short term planning input within their areas of competence.
3.6 Other specialist worksite representatives

• As above but relevant to their own specialist areas.

4 General description of roles
4.1 Introduction
It is the responsibility of the project manager and operations manager to agree the level of represen-
tation they require and then to look for the personnel required to fulfil those roles.
4.2 The client worksite representative

• The client’s worksite representative must be thoroughly briefed and have a good understanding
of the work processes, the company objectives and reporting procedures.
• Must be given sufficient time to be familiarised with the procedures, to assimilate project infor-
mation, to understand the general field layout and how it affects the task.
• Must be contractually aware of the project commercial considerations.
• Should meet the principal company personnel with whom they will be dealing. Should also
meet the principal personnel working for the contractor.
• Must have a client company check list (see Appendix 2 for an example) and a list of offshore con-
tact numbers, onshore contact numbers, e-mail addresses, list of daily progress report address-
ees, etc.
• On going on board the support vessel at the start of mobilisation, should be familiar with all the
detailed work procedures and prime interfaces. This will include but not be limited to:-
–– the bridging document
–– emergency response procedures
–– mobilisation procedure.
–– audits carried out on the spread and the close out actions required.
The worksite representative will then be in a position to ensure that all the actions, including any
actions required from the audits (eg diving system assurance, annual DP & CMID) are closed out.
4.3 Numbers of offshore representatives required

In order to cover the 24 hour period properly, one day shift and one night shift representative will
usually be required, one of whom shall be the nominated senior worksite representative.
4.3.1 Senior worksite representative

The senior worksite representative is generally an experienced offshore representative who has had
experience of this type of work before and who knows and has previous experience of working with
the client company. If the senior worksite representative is not a qualified engineer then they should
be supported by one if there are any engineering decisions to be made offshore. They must be thor-
oughly familiar with management of change, permit to work, isolation requirements, risk assess-
ment processes, accident and incident reporting & investigation processes as well as being familiar
with safety audits, associated national and international legislation requirements, etc.
4.3.2 Diving worksite representative

The diving worksite representative will be an experienced diving specialist who has knowledge and
experience of the type of diving operation being undertaken and of the type of work being under-
taken. They must be thoroughly familiar with current legislation and regulations as well as with
best industry practice. They should be familiar with dynamically positioned vessels and their DP
control systems, if the operation is being conducted from a support vessel equipped with DP. They
should have an appreciation of the basics of ship handling. This is particularly important if there is
no company marine representative on board the vessel. They should be familiar with marine proc-
esses, lifting operations, rigging and general seamanship. Theymust be knowledgeable in matters of
small boat handling and safety. They should support the senior client representative with regard to
operational decisions.
©OGP 7
5 Numbers required & selection
• Numbers of worksite representatives required will be governed by the type of work that is to be
undertaken, the complexity of the job and of the equipment to be worked on/used
• Careful analysis must be carried out of the work that is to be done, of the contingencies that
may be required and of the decisions that may have to be taken offshore.
• The remoteness of the work-site must be taken into account as well as the reliability of the avail-
able communication systems. For instance, this may well require engineering expertise to be
available on site or survey or equipment specialists.
• The requirement to use local labour or to have interpreters on board must be considered. If
interpreters are required they must be both fluent and reliable. It needs to be borne in mind
that, in an emergency situation, the natural re-action of a human being is to revert to their own
language.
• Due consideration must be given to the workload that will be imposed on the representatives.
They must be able to work effectively under pressure and must, on occasion, be able to work long
hours in certain circumstances and/or in a difficult situation/emergency. For most individuals
they will be unable to do this if they are routinely expected to work long hours day after day. A
12 hour ‘on’ and a 12 hour ‘off’ rota should be aimed at with reasonable overlaps.
• The experience, competence and skill sets of the available offshore worksite representatives will
help determine the numbers and types of offshore worksite representatives required to be on
board to monitor the works. Each project must be viewed on its own requirements.

6 Competence assessment
The client company must maintain a competence assessment record of their offshore worksite repre-
sentatives. The following records should be maintained to help in the assessment process:-
• Health, safety & environmental training
• Operational training & experience record
• Feedback from senior contractor personnel
• General competence assessment
• Job specific competence assessment
The competence assessment process should be carried out by the offshore worksite representative’s
line manager or person to whom they report in the client company.
Section 8 of this document sets out a recommended assessment process as a guide for this task.
The line manager must have a full understanding of the project to be undertaken and be able to rec-
ognize the gaps between the required level of offshore management experience and the knowledge
and level possessed by the prospective offshore worksite representatives.
The results of the competence assessment must be recorded and kept for future reference and to
provide an audit trail should one be required.
©OGP 9
7 Levels of skill
The degree of experience and skill will largely depend on the type of work that the client’s repre-
sentative is being asked to do. The following is an example:-
1. A straightforward air range diving job from a moored up vessel (ARDSV), barge or drilling
rig?
2. An air range job using Nitrox?
3. An air range job being conducted from a Dynamically Positioned Support Vessel (DSV)
4. A saturation range diving job being carried out from a moored barge or drilling rig (including
jack-up rigs)?
5. A mixed saturation and air range diving job being carried out from a Dynamically Positioned
Diving Support Vessel (DPDSV)?
6. If the job is to be conducted from a Dynamically Positioned Vessel is an experienced mariner
included in the offshore representative team or is the dive representative expected to cover the
marine side as of the job as well?
7. If the job is a major task, is an engineer included in the offshore rep. team or is the dive repre-
sentative expected to cover construction and inspection activities as well?
It can be seen from the above that the experience and skills requirements of the offshore worksite
representative is going to vary from job to job. This is why it is incumbent on the client company to
look very carefully at the work scope and requirements. This needs to be risk assessed to determine
what level of offshore representation is required to ensure the effective monitoring, control, safety
and operational efficiency of the work offshore.

Appendix 1 – Extract from OGP’s Diving

6.5.2 Worksite Representative roles and responsibilities
The purpose of this section is to describe the responsibilities and duties of personnel representing
OGP members in the safe management of diving operations.
In general, Worksite Representatives are involved in assurance activities during normal operations.
The contractor is responsible for performing all elements of the work and the responsibilities of the
contractor should be such that, should a Worksite Representative not be present, the work is able to
progress normally.
Roles and responsibilities are not written to establish demarcation lines between individuals, or to
detract from the collective responsibility of:
• The onshore/worksite management teams
• Teamwork within OGP organisation
• Teamwork within contractors
A competence assessment process must have been completed on all personnel who are allocated
responsibilities and duties.
The OGP member or its representatives will maintain training and competence records for person-
nel that are used as offshore representatives.
There are a number of assurance activities at a diving operation worksite that may be allocated to
OGP member-approved competent persons, depending on OGP member assessment of the need
based on risk and added value.
The OGP member’s Project Manager should nominate individuals to perform one or more duties,
dependent on the individual’s competence.
Responsibilities and duties may be transferred during the course of a project. Competence must be
assured when transferring responsibilities.
Where required, Worksite Representatives must also be in possession of the following :
• Medical certificate
