What should be readily available on deck while seamen are working over the side on a stage?
• Working over the side safety requirements • Immediate water rescue needs if someone falls overboard • Difference between equipment used after an incident (first aid, fire) vs. equipment used during a fall
• If a seaman slips off the stage into the water, which item would allow the crew to quickly keep that person afloat and close to the ship? • Which option is specifically designed to be thrown quickly and used from the deck during over-the-side work? • Which items are important for safety but are usually kept in specific locations rather than "readily available on deck" right where people are working over the side?
• Identify which choice is a primary water-rescue device meant to be thrown to a person in the water • Consider which items are typically fixed or stored in set places (e.g., first aid station, fire station) rather than moved to the work area • Ask: if you had only one of these items at hand while someone worked over the side, which would most directly help if they suddenly fell into the water?
