The December 2025 issue of The Regulator, published by NOPSEMA, contains two key updates for hyperbaric workers. The first is the release of updated Diving Guidelines, and the second brings focus to the importance of regulating psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
IMCA Environmental Sustainability Focus
IMCA published its Code of Practice for Environmental Sustainability in May 2021. Following a successful launch and engagement process the Code was used as a basis for developing a self-assessment questionnaire for IMCA members to establish how they are performing in terms of Environmental Sustainability.

Following research amongst members, focussed working groups are being established to drive forward preparation of guidance on key elements such as the circular economy, supply chain engagement, life below water, and environmental performance factors to enable members to move forward with their organisation’s Environmental Sustainability Performance.
Ezrah Schraven, Chair of IMCA’s Environmental Sustainability Committee commented:
The results of the assessment show there is still a long journey ahead however it helps to identify the initial areas of focus and where guidance and support are required for IMCA members; and informs the Committee’s next steps.
