Underwater Electrical Safety Practices

Abstract

This report deals with underwater electrical safety, with particular emphasis on the hazards surrounding Navy and commercial divers engaged in cutting and welding operations. The purpose was to study the degree of divergence, if any, between Navy and commercial safety practices in underwater electrical work, to determine whether the safety practices used by the Navy are unnecessarily restrictive, and, once this was done, to recommend any technical investigations or corrective actions that are considered necessary.
