🔍 Key Concepts

• Man overboard procedures on small and large vessels • Importance of immediate visual contact with the person in the water • Correct sequence of actions in an emergency (alert, observe, assist)

💭 Think About

• Which action can you take instantly without moving away from where you saw the person fall? • In the first few seconds, what is the most critical thing that no one else can do as well as the original observer? • Which option helps the bridge/crew respond effectively while not losing track of the person in the water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the option you choose does not leave the person unwatched in the water • Check which answer allows you to both raise the alarm and maintain visual contact • Avoid choices that create a second victim or delay the vessel’s organized response
