For more than a decade, hundreds of safety trainers, including the U.S. Coast Guard, have relied on this document as their primary reference and teaching tool. Originally written for use in the North Pacific commercial fishery, the fifth edition applies equally well in the northern waters of the Atlantic Ocean, including the New England region. Among other USCG-approved safety information, the document includes directions on conducting safety drills mandated by the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988 (P.L. 100424). Working at sea can be extremely hazardous, even for those with years of experience. The document tells how fishermen can prevent and survive accidents on board the fishing boat, and how to prepare the vessel, maintain safety gear, and train the crew so problems don't escalate into disaster. Step-by-step instructions on conducting emergency drills required to meet federal requirements for crew training. |
