Newfoundland and Labrador's Occupational Health and Safety Regulations require a commercial diver to hold a valid certificate of medical fitness before starting any commercial diving operation. The five-page package has WorkplaceNL's instructions, the certificate, the diver's questionnaire and physical assessment, and a schedule of required tests. The certificate is renewed annually, or more often if clinically indicated.
A physician knowledgeable and competent in diving medicine reviews the history, examines the diver, arranges investigations and completes the declaration, classification and certificate results. The diver completes the questionnaire and the diver information section of the certificate.

If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

Only a physician knowledgeable and competent in diving medicine. WorkplaceNL maintains a current list of such physicians, available from its Health Care Services, and the medical assessment page states that it is to be performed only by a diving medicine physician.
The certificate must be renewed annually, or more frequently if clinically indicated, and the expiry date defaults to one year from the examination. Reasons for an exam include initial, annual, 5-year review, after illness or accident, and before returning to diving.
The form states that the Occupational Health and Safety Act makes medical costs the responsibility of the diver's employer unless the diver is self-employed. Some items, such as stress tests, echocardiograms and specialist consultations, are covered by MCP or WHSCC as appropriate.
