Marine Safety and Survival Training in Port Orford
Under the auspices of Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA)
the Coast Guard will present a two-day, hands-on safety and survival
workshop for commercial fishermen in Port Orford on Monday, August 22
and Tuesday, August 23. The workshop is free.
This U.S. Coast Guard-approved, Marine Survival Equipment, Procedures
and Onboard Drills training meets USCG requirements for commercial
fishing vessels operating outside the boundary line.
Participants will practice with emergency equipment that should be
onboard any commercial fishing boat or other sizeable vessel - PFDs,
life rafts, immersion suits, EPIRBs, fire extinguishers. They will learn
and practice emergency procedures like man overboard retrieval,
abandoning ship, fire fighting and flooding control.
Mariners who have already taken the course are encouraged to attend
again to refresh their skills. A study by NIOSH determined that after
five years, the effectiveness of training in reducing fatalities
declines significantly.
