115 VOLTS - DEADLY SHIPMATE

Year Published: 1960

Creator: U.S. Navy

Description: This 1960 US Navy safety training film emphasizes the dangers of low voltage electricity, specifically 115 volts, aboard naval ships. It highlights that this familiar voltage can be deadly due to carelessness and lack of respect for electrical safety protocols. The film recounts real incidents where sailors suffered fatal accidents due to negligent behavior, such as using faulty equipment, unauthorized modifications, or ignoring safety procedures. It stresses the importance of adhering to safety rules and being vigilant to prevent electrical accidents.

I was recently given dozens of old 16mm films that were rescued from the dumpster of a local college many years ago, all dealing with machine shop topics, ie training, etc. Scanning them is a laborious process, so I'm only going to do a few of them. I will most likely be passing these films along to an archive rather than tackling them myself, but maybe I'll do a couple more of them. I've seen other low-quality copies of this film elsewhere online, but I figured I could do better even with this red-faded copy. Scanned with my Moviestuff Retroscan Universal.
