Hey Landon, here's some useful information for your question. I hope you find it helpful.
Daily tasks of Commercial Divers include:
1. Taking safety measures like monitoring dive duration and depth, and registering with authorities before starting diving expeditions.
2. Checking and maintaining diving gear like helmets, masks, air tanks, harnesses, and gauges.
3. Talking to surface workers while underwater using signal lines or phones.
4. Going underwater with the help of diver assistants, using scuba equipment or diving suits.
5. Gathering information about diving tasks and environmental conditions.
Weekly or monthly tasks of Commercial Divers involve:
1. Examining underwater steel or wood structures.
2. Inspecting and testing docks, ships, buoy systems, plant intakes or outflows, and underwater pipelines, cables, or sewers using closed-circuit TV, photos, and testing tools.
3. Retrieving objects by placing rigging around sunken items, connecting rigging to crane lines, and operating winches, derricks, or cranes to lift objects.
Working Hours:
- Commercial Divers typically work over 40 hours per week.
- Their work schedule is irregular and can change due to weather, production demands, or contract length.
Work Environment:
- Indoors, not environmentally controlled
- Outdoors, exposed to weather
- Distracting or uncomfortable noise levels
- Common safety equipment includes safety shoes, glasses, gloves, hearing protection, hard hats, and life jackets.
- Specialized safety gear may include breathing apparatus, safety harness, full protection suits, or radiation protection.
I hope this helps!
Best wishes
