The fire alarm signal onboard United States flag merchant vessels is a continuous blast of the whistle for a period of not less than 10 seconds, supplemented by the continuous ringing of the general alarm bells for not less than 10 seconds. Where can this information be readily found aboard ship?
• Muster List / Station Bill purpose and contents • Difference between certificates and posted emergency instructions • Where alarm signals and emergency duties must be posted so all crew can see them
• Which document is designed for everyday quick reference by the crew in an emergency, and is normally posted in several locations? • Which items are mainly formal inspection or statutory certificates, and which are meant to tell you exactly what to do and what signals mean? • If you were a new crewmember and heard an unfamiliar alarm, where would you most logically look first to see what it means and what you should do?
• Identify which choice must, by regulation, list emergency signals and corresponding duties for each person • Distinguish between a USCG inspection certificate and a crew information/assignment posting • Ask: which document is normally posted in conspicuous places near accommodation and work spaces for quick crew reference?
