Metro English-329 - Underwater Welder 水下电焊工
Underwater Welder
水下电焊工
Electricity and water are usually two things that don’t mix, but for underwater welders, it’s just another part of the job. Employees in this field repair pipelines, ships, dams, and more, and face a series of dangers, including explosions and differential pressure hazards. For example, when a diver is trapped under the high-pressure flow of water, they’re at risk of drowning. While the BLS doesn’t track fatalities in this field, research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows underwater welders die at a rate that is 40 times higher than America’s national average. It’s important to note that the study is more than 20 years old, and studies aren’t frequently updated due to the small population size in this field.
电和水通常是两种不能混合的东西,但对于水下焊工来说,这只是工作的一部分。该领域的员工维修管道、船舶、水坝等,并面临一系列危险,包括爆炸和压差危险等。例如,当潜水员被困在高压水流下时,他们就有溺水的危险。虽然劳工统计局没有追踪这一领域的死亡人数,但美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)的研究显示,水下焊工的死亡率是美国全国平均水平的40倍。值得注意的是,这项研究已有20多年的历史,由于该领域的人口规模较小,研究也没有经常更新。
