Marine Contractors:  New Edition  of MA1 Available

The HSE has updated its guidelines concerning medical examination and assessment for commercial divers by its Approved Medical Examiners of Divers (AMEDs).  The new edition of MA1 follows a review of obesity, mental health, respiratory fitness, cardiovascular and neurological fitness, ENT, diabetes and exercise testing.  A copy of the new document can be downloaded from the HSE’s website at www.hse.gov.uk

As well as AMEDs the document may be of interest to commercial divers and commercial diving contractors.
