HIRA IN DEEPSPOT
DAN’s HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) program helps owners, managers, dive center employees and dive professionals identify risks before personal injury or property damage occurs.
The main benefit of the HIRA program developed by DAN is to reduce the likelihood of an accident and minimize its impact and effects on the diver’s subsequent life.
The program focuses on realistic and pragmatic assessment of risks that could lead to serious consequences and provides tools and strategies to proactively minimize the consequences of accidents.
LEVEL 1
A manager or diving professional must have the basic training and equipment to assist a casualty and plan actions and handle an emergency situation. Deepspot received this certification in May 2023.
LEVEL 2
It requires further training, as well as the implementation and practice of a wider range of operational procedures and emergency action plans. Deepspot received this certification in February 2024.
LEVEL 3
It provides a comprehensive and detailed risk assessment. At this level, virtually every element of the company’s and dive center’s operations is checked, and additional rescue plans are required based on the range of activities. Deepspot is in the process of implementing the procedures required at this level and is awaiting an audit by DAN Europe representatives in 2024.
Deepspot Insurance
Deepspot as a dive center has DAN Dive Center Plus insurance which protects against third-party liability and includes defense in court for diving services provided. It covers both the activities of the Dive Center and all Deepspot instructors employed.
