ASSET CERTIFICATION AND MEMBERSHIP
GRADES
Under the Heath & Safety at Work Act, work on critical,
pressure, safety and life support systems must be carried out by a “Competent
Person”.
A broad definition of “Competence” is a person who is both
“qualified and experienced” in his/her area of endeavor. There are
no specific definitions for each craft or trade though competence may be
defined by an industry organization or by legal precedent.
The Association of SCUBA Service Engineers and Technicians is working
with the HSE in order to define competence levels for Diving
Technicians.
The ASSET training and membership schemes provide
both the Industry and the Technician with credibility.
By meeting qualification criteria and maintaining ASSET Membership
the individual Technician will have the means to demonstrate “Competence”.
