Marine Survival: Emergency Marine Distress Signals

Moxie Media 34 minutes

Regardless of vessel or offshore installation size, the sea is unpredictable and without warning can place the lives of all crew members in jeopardy. In addition, unforeseen accidents such as fires, equipment malfunctions, and capsizing can trigger an emergency evacuation of personnel. It is vital for crews to understand and be trained in the use of marine distress signals ranging from radio communication and visual markers such as flares, smokes, or rockets, to electronic locators such as EPIRBs and SARTs.

In this program, maritime employees will learn how to rapidly notify search and rescue authorities of their emergency and assist them by quickly guiding rescue craft to their location. This is vital compliance training that can literally save the crew's life!
