Diver Medic Technician (DMT) |

Offshore
|
Diver medical training was introduced by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) over ten years ago. Then in 1997 the Health & Safety Executive handed the scheme over to the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) to control.
The Diver Medical Technician (DMT) is a person who will be expected to perform a range of advanced medical techniques in an emergency. The DMT might be expected to assist in the initial diagnosis, tend the patient and administer medication and/or fluids to take control of the situation until a Diving Doctor arrives. This is particularly useful when planning diving projects in remote areas. |
