Investigation Summary
An employee was welding inside the bilge of a shrimp boat. He was working on a shaft near the packing gland. The welding machine accommodated a supply voltage 240 to 480 volts, with an output current of 35 to 300 amperes. The insulation on the electrode cable had numerous defects, including two temporary repairs and two tears in the insulation within 3 meters of the electrode holder. The employee was found face down by fellow workers checking on him. He had been electrocuted.
