The work order
Movie Hazard Analysis #15 treats the crush-depth dive from Das Boot (1981) as a real work order: seven crew, one flooding engine room, five steps of emergency hull flooding control.
What moved the risk
Line isolation, continuous atmospheric monitoring, a dedicated attendant with staged rescue, and firm withdrawal criteria lower every step, but none drops below HIGH.
The transfer to real work. Before anyone patches a live leak, ask what would take the pressure off first.
Every hazard, control and risk number shown comes from the JHA itself; nothing is invented or rounded for effect. Inspired by Das Boot (1981): commentary and hazard analysis of a fictional scene as depicted, with no affiliation with the film or its rights holders. The underlying JHA was generated with JHA Rapid, is AI-assisted, and must be reviewed by a qualified safety professional before use. Not a compliance document.
