Question #8: Are employers in compliance with OSHA standards when they rely on employees who own their own diving equipment to maintain this equipment?
Answer: OSHA supports and encourages employees to maintain, inspect, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment that they own and use in their employers' diving operations. However, these actions do not relieve employers of their responsibilities under OSHA standards to ensure the proper use, maintenance, testing, and other required actions regarding diving equipment used in the course of employment. Accordingly, OSHA makes no distinction between "employer-owned" equipment and "employee-owned" equipment. If the equipment is not in compliance with OSHA standards, and it is being used in the course of employment, then the employer is in violation of the standards.
