Burns and Shocks
Shipfitters perform tasks that may expose them to burn and electrical shock hazards. For example, burning operations present a hazard from open flame and heated steel surfaces.
Working with electrical welding equipment on conductive surfaces that may be wet at times exposes the shipfitter to the potential of electrical shock.
For more information see Hot Work SHIPS (PDF*).
