Assistance to companies

We can help to implement or control diving & ROV projects. The advantage of using our services is that the company hiring us does not need to hire additional personnel specifically for the planned tasks, allowing its human resources to focus on other projects. Additionally, as previously mentioned, CCO Ltd.'s procedures and documents, some of which are available through the "Diving and ROV Specialists" website database, can serve as valuable sources of information and references. We remain discreet during such projects, operating in harmony with our client's management system. We also uphold a strong culture of confidentiality, ensuring that the documents produced remain the exclusive property of our clients. Parts of the project that do not require on-site work are conducted in our office to save time and money. Activities that necessitate on-site presence are organized with the client to maximize cost efficiency. Suggested activities may include, but are not limited to: Ensuring that procedures are safe and meet the planned requirements.. • Ensuring that the diving system(s) have been properly audited. • Advising on the selection of suppliers and subcontractors. • Advising on the selection of surface support. • Advising on the selection of project teams. • Providing support during meetings. Prices: They depend on what is being done and how long the project is scheduled to take. Please note that: • Travel and accommodation fees are paid separately and in advance of the assignment start date. Arrangements can be made for the client to organize this aspect of the project. • Insurance is the client's responsibility and must be in place before the start of the assignment. Payment: A percentage of the total amount is calculated and is due upon sending the purchase order. The balance is due upon completion of the mission, provided the mission duration is less than one month. For missions of more than one (1) month, a monthly payment is discussed and organized. Communications: Secure email and internet systems, as well as phone communications, are typically utilized. Please note that we collaborate exclusively with personnel assigned to the project. Therefore, the documents are sent to only the designated point of contact and can be encrypted upon request. Registered mail may be used to transfer printed documents.

Assistance to authotities

National organizations responsible for protecting workers typically employ competent civil servants to oversee the development, selection, and implementation of standards for worker protection in various industrial and agricultural settings. However, these persons often lack the knowledge and experience to decide about very specific activities, such as those involving hyperbaric exposures and underwater work, which remain exceptional in most countries. Therefore, some of them naturally rely on established guidelines and standards to offset their lack of expertise, which sometimes leads them to rely on publications and guidelines from professional organizations, assuming that knowledge on underwater work matters resides with these entities. However, the analysis of documents published by some professional associations reveals that these organizations issue "doctoral" statements based solely on beliefs, lacking references and appealing only to documents they are the publishers of, which is an obvious case of circular reasoning, resulting in poor technical and scientific value. Also, while documents published by international organizations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) provide valuable guidance, these publications cover only some aspects of diving and ROV operations and deliver conventions that give only a minimum for each topic discussed, as the purpose of these documents is to be accepted by a majority of states to be applicable in all countries, including those that do not have specific legislation. As a result of the above, civil servants and legislators not familiar with hyperbaric and underwater activities may be confronted with one or several of the scenarios mentioned above, which may result in: • A too permissive legislation. • A legislation with conflicting standards. • A legislation based on undocumented texts that can be contested and may have potentially disastrous outcomes. • A copy/post of existing legislation not adapted to the local outcomes of the country. In addition to the above, it is often the case that diving and ROV companies issuing operating manuals must ensure they are approved by a competent body, which is usually the labor ministry of the country in which they operate. In such cases, expert advice is necessary to evaluate these documents and ensure they comply with relevant practice. Our experience in writing studies and manuals, combined with previous contracts in such specialized tasks and our large database, enables us to provide valuable and discreet support to clients such as labor ministries or other bodies nominated by governments to manage this specific domain of activities. Prices and contract conditions: The prices depend on the work being done and the duration of the project. Please note that: • The purpose and extent of the mission must be mentioned: We do not accept contracts evaluated in hours of work by the client. Therefore, the agreement must precisely specify what is to be done and the price for this mission. • Extensions to an ongoing mission are to be discussed in another contract. • Travel and accommodation fees are paid separately and in advance of the assignment start date. Arrangements can be made for the client to organize this aspect of the project. • If travels and worksite visits are to be organized, travel and worksite accident insurance must be discussed before starting the project, as they must be in place before beginning the assignment. Payment: The modalities should be precised before starting the project, as well as the acceptance of our bank credentials by the services of the state. Note that: • We typically request payment within one month after receipt of our invoice. • Long missions that involve evaluating procedures lasting over one month should be paid for on a monthly basis.
