Summary
A member has reported that, following the investigation into a recent incident where a diver’s hat (Kirby Morgan SL 17C) became partially detached from the neck dam, the contractor involved concluded that, rather than the securing pins becoming displaced during the dive, in all probability they were not secured at the beginning of the dive and that the fault lay with the checking and confirmation process rather than with the hardware.
IMCA SF 02/11. Themes: control of work, diving, human factors.
