Why Underwater Welding Is The Deadliest Job In The World | Risky Business

Underwater Welders are about 40 times more likely to die on the job than the average worker in the US. But they are the reason bridges and piers keep standing across the world. We followed welders in Indonesia who dive with minimal protection in polluted waters to build piers for petrochemical plants that are booming across the country.

    You should think about why you don't get it. When we propose greater investment in safety, we assume that we have the technology to improve safety while handling a high tension power line, or we are instead proposing investment in R&D. Well until your proposed R&D investments bear fruit, you will continue not to get it. I think we could be grateful to people who take up these risky an essential jobs, so that undeserving people like you and I can continue to live our lives posting dismissive comments on KZread. I wonder if we can invest our way out of stupidity. That would be fantastic no?

    Probably because the liability rules dont really keep these companies in check in case of serious injury/death or simply is a cost they're willing to cover if margins are too good and probably not worth comparing to the amount of money it'd take to change their safety methods.

    At 6:46 - he's literally touching the tip of the electrode as he replaces it & no issue (& yes it is still live), even if he touches the tip of the electrode whilst its welding, the chances of death are low as the anode/pile are the grounded to the welding circuit & the current is more likely to still flow directly through them. The danger is if his hand or body touches the anode or pile whilst he is not welding & the electrode is close to shorting through him into the anode or pile closing the welding circuit - just don't ever make personal physical contact with the grounded welding metal. I use to do this type of work & sometimes if the grounding surface is so so, your teeth would vibrate/shatter from the electric current flowing as you weld.

    I was an underwater cutter on the Thames Barrier Project in London in the seventies for three years. Now that was black water everything by feel. Insurance stats then reckoned to lose one saturation diver on the North Sea rigs a year, the Thames Barrier - seven, thats how much more dangerous that was. Thankfully no fatalities. I had the best trusted dive team buddies anywhere - Now I'm asked if I hold a Padi certificate 🤣

    The seventies were some 50 years ago. That makes you at least 70 years old if not more. The dive shop or dive boat probably doesn't even want to risk having you diving with them because of the liability. Them asking for some recreational diving certificate is the least they can do to check. How else are they supposed to know? Or are they gonna get sued into oblivion if some accident happens.

    These companies aren’t held by first world standards. They get paid so much because they don’t live as long, and insurance isn’t necessary. Could you imagine how much the insurance would cost the company in a developed country? They figure it’s cheaper to pay poor people a little more, than a company a ton more.

    It seems like that would be easier and cheaper and safer, so I expect there is some valid reason why they don't do it that we aren't aware of due to insufficient knowledge on the topic. At the very least this alternate solution probably isn't as simple as it seems.

    A slot would likely let water get in between the two different metals and defeat the purpose of the sacrificial anode. They need to be in sufficient contact to allow them to interact electrochemically. On a smaller scale it can be done with wires, I'm not sure if that would work on something this big or if more contact is needed, but wires would need to be spot welded anyway.

    Come on. This is underwater welding, not ordinary welding. It isn't as dangerous as people make it out to be, but it still is dangerous. The two are completely different. Imagine doing it with no floor beneath you and currents moving you around. Besides that, the bubbles reduce visibility along with the unclear water. Also salt water is a lot more conductive to air, so if it's not close enough to the anode it can shoot arks out.

    @@OnlyMe-mt7zb I’m talking about the risk of electrocution. Of course it’s dangerous, but not because of the welding aspect. People die sometimes while doing regular scuba diving, of course any form of commercial diving is much more dangerous. What makes arc dangerous, it’s just the flow of electricity, if it arcs it’s going to be low voltage arcs.
