At the required fire drill, all persons must report to their stations and demonstrate their ability to perform the duties assigned to them __________.
• Muster List (Station Bill) and how duties are assigned on board • Purpose of a fire drill and what must be practiced • Who has the legal authority to assign emergency duties on a vessel
• Ask yourself: Where are a crew member’s emergency duties officially written down and posted on board? • Think: During a fire drill, are you practicing something informal from a meeting, or what is formally assigned for an emergency? • Consider: Does one person running a drill create the duties, or are those duties already established somewhere else?
• Verify where individual duties (fire party, mustering, equipment handling) must be listed and posted on the vessel • Check which document on board is required to show who does what in an emergency • Confirm whether Coast Guard regulations themselves list each person’s specific duty, or if they require that this information be posted in a particular document on the ship
