The profession of Underwater Welder is indeed quite dangerous, which is why safety procedures and preparations are constantly reviewed before the activity.
When in operation, the diver welder has a radio attached to their helmet that allows communication and monitoring with the control room, in addition to assistance from an ROV filming and monitoring their work. In the event of an incident during the job, there is a type of switch that shuts down the circuit immediately in case of emergency.
