Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. 2010;40(2):83-7.) Risk management is a systematic process applied to all aspects of diving operations. The process aims to reduce accidents and adverse outcomes to a minimum. Risk results from a combination of probability and consequence, and where this combination has major or extreme impact, the risk should not be tolerated. Over the four years 2001−2004, the incidence of decompression illness amongst abalone divers in Tasmania was 1.4 cases per 100 divers per year. Risk management in diving encompasses medical fi tness, education and training, dive planning, equipment and maintenance, emergency procedures and equipment, and continual vigilance to remedy new risks as they are identifi ed. There is still much to achieve Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Volume 40 No. 2 June 2010 84 the AS2299.1 recommendation for annual diving medical assessments. An equally important principle is that divers take responsibility for their own day-to-day fi tness to dive. It goes without saying that many long-term health issues result from individual choices regarding consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. In abalone divers, longterm health problems from ear and sinus barotrauma are commonly encountered by diving physicians. Time spent in the short term recovering from such conditions is well spent, rather than ‘soldiering on’, thus causing permanent hearing impairment or sinus injury. Divers are encouraged to seek early advice from a diving medicine specialist if they experience health problems after diving. The most common clinical syndrome of DCI resembles a bout of influenza: tiredness and lethergy, inability to concentrate, headache and non-specifi c migratory muscle and joint pains. Occasionally there may be nausea and vomiting. Musculoskeletal pains are common and may be restricted to one joint, most frequently the shoulder, or develop in multiple joints. Skin rashes occur on rare occasions. Other non-neurological symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath and abdominal pain. Neurological syndromes can range from minor paraesthesiae, numbness and slight unsteadiness, through to paraplegia, hemiplegia, severe cognitive defi cits and even loss of consciousness and seizures. Any of these symptoms and signs may be worsened by ascent to altitude (>300 m) after diving; a signifi cant issue in Tasmania (see below). Early treatment of diving-related illness results in faster and more complete recovery. It is recognised that earlier treatment of DCI results in better outcomes for the diver. For serious neurological DCI, recompression treatment is even more time-critical. In Tasmania, there is a 24-hour diving emergency contact via the Ambulance Tasmania 000 number. The diving medicine specialist is contacted once the alarm is raised, and provides input at the earliest stage to management and transport of the diving casualty.
