🔍 Key Concepts

• Wind direction and smoke drift when using pyrotechnic signals • Safe handling of handheld smoke signals in confined spaces like a liferaft • How smoke might affect visibility and breathing for persons in the raft

💭 Think About

• If smoke is blown by the wind, where should you hold the signal so the smoke is carried away from the raft, not into it? • Would it ever be safe to use a smoke signal in an enclosed or semi-enclosed space? Why or why not? • Think about which side of the raft is safest for both visibility to rescuers and for the survivors’ comfort and safety.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify where the wind is coming from and where it will carry the smoke relative to the raft. • Confirm that the signal should be used outside the raft in open air, not in an enclosed area. • Check which option best keeps smoke and hot particles away from people in the raft.
